In The New Shade Garden, award-winning author Ken Druse presents a comprehensive guide to creating a shade garden with an emphasis on the adjustments necessary for our changing climate.
 
There is a new generation of gardeners who are planting gardens not only for their visual beauty but also for their ability to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Druse offers advice on a wide variety of common problems facing today’s gardeners, including:
  • Watering plants without stressing limited resources
  • Designing your own garden
  • Pruning trees
  • Dealing with a troublesome deer situation
  • Preparing soil for planting
  • The vast array of flowers and greenery that grow best in the shade
  • And more!
Druse writes in his introduction, “The garden of the future will be a shade garden. There are many reasons: fiscal, historical, environmental—and for the sake of our health and the planet’s.”
 
Discover what Druse has learned in his many years of gardening: Creating your own lush oasis is the best defense against our changing world. Filled with guidance, horticultural facts, and useful plant recommendations, this book is sure to become a resource you will refer to again and again.
 
Perfect for new and seasoned gardeners alike, this wide-ranging encyclopedic manual provides all the information you need to start or improve upon your own shade garden.
