Whether you crave healthy, vigorous plants, wish to grow new ones to share with friends, or need to create scores to fill your own beds and borders—for free—Making More Plants will help fulfill your most vivid garden dreams. Ken Druse, one of America's foremost gardening authorities, an award-winning photographer, and the author of the best-selling Natural Garden series, presents innovative, practical techniques for expanding every plant collection with helpful text and more than 500 full-color photographs.
Based on years of personal research, MaicingMore Plants is an essential manual as well as a beautiful garden book, presenting procedures Ken Druse has tested and adapted, as well as documented in step-by-step photography. In clear, inspirational language Ken takes the mystery out of seemingly difficult procedures such as growing shrubs from cuttings or trees from seeds, even producing more flower bulbs with sections of their leaves. When focusing on easily creating a dozen plants from a single perennial using only a common kitchen knife or a more complex exercise such as air-layering an overgrown ficus tree. Ken's advice will inspire both novice and experienced gardeners to turn their homes and gardens into personal nurseries.
In addition, a comprehensive appendix charts methods for propagating more than 700 genera and thousands of species of plants listed by both their common and Latin names, an invaluable resource unmatched by even professional textbooks.
Straightforward advice, gorgeous photographs, and Ken's own engaging voice all combine to make Maldng More Plants an indispensable guide for every passionate gardener and plant lover. Vissza
