	Meadows by: Christopher Lloyd publisher: Timber Press, Incorporated, published: 2004-06-01 ASIN: 0881926280 sales rank: 848857 price: $15.77 (new), $3.38 (used)
To see an unimproved meadow in bloom is a great delight – the community of flowers and grasses is rich and colourful as are the butterflies, moths and other fauna that go with it. No wonder, then, with the biodiversity of our countryside fast disappearing, that meadow gardening has become fashionable and a book on the subject is so timely. No one could tackle the subject of wild gardening in grass like Christopher Lloyd, whose celebrated garden at Great Dixter includes the flower-studded lawns and orchards admired by countless visitors and television viewers. In Meadows, he explores the development and management of established meadow areas, ways of starting from scratch in a garden setting and the hundreds of beautiful grasses, bulbs and colourful perennials that thrive in different conditions. Lloyd’s own experimental prairie is a springboard to discussing North American prairies and the plants that provide swathes of color in late summer and interest into winter. He also explores wider issues --- roadsides and the enrichment of green areas in the urban landscape. Only Lloyd has the depth of knowledge to unravel such an intriguing aspect of gardening, to convey the excitement and rewards of these grasslands. Filled with hundreds of specially commissioned photographs show-casing the variety and beauty of meadows, this book provides a captivating guide for anyone wishing to preserve pasturelands, cultivate native species and attract wildlife to their gardens.

	Your Plants by: James Sheehan publisher: James J. Jones, published: 2008-11-03 ASIN: B001K3IB0C sales rank: 342984
While the author was in attendance upon a large horticultural meeting, which was attended by nearly all the leading florists and nurserymen in Western New York, the idea of writing this work was first suggested to him. An intelligent lady, present at that meeting, widely known for her skill and success as an amateur florist, in conversation with the writer made the following remarks: "I have in my library at least a dozen different works on floriculture, some of them costly, all of which I have read over and over again, often having to pore over a large volume of almost useless matter, in order to find information on some points I was looking for. "It has occurred to me that some one ought to write a work on flowers, for the use of amateurs, that would contain in a brief space all the requisite information ordinarily needed by those who cultivate flowers in and about their homes. I predict that such a work could not fail to meet and merit a general demand." In writing this little volume, I have earnestly endeavored to carry out, as near as I could, the above suggestions. How far I have succeeded in accomplishing this end, my readers must judge. I trust that "Your Plants" will be useful and instructive in the field it was designed to occupy— that of a help to amateurs in the successful cultivation of plants and flowers in the house and garden.
