Description
This post-wild landscape guide is an "optimistic call to action" to help gardeners create a harmonious environment by incoporating plant communities (Chicago Tribune). Over time, with industrialization and urban sprawl, we have driven nature out of our neighborhoods and cities. But we can invite it back by designing landscapes that look and function more like they do in the wild: robust, diverse, and visually harmonious. Featuring gorgeous photography and advice for landscapers, Planting in a Post-Wild World by Thomas Rainer and Claudia West is dedicated to the idea of a new nature--a hybrid of both the wild and the cultivated--that can nourish in our cities and suburbs.
