Home Landscaping: Northeast Region: Including Southeast Canada (Home Landscaping)

Review

“There is nothing like it! This idea-filled book takes the guesswork out of landscaping so you can focus on the fun. Designs that work, great plants you can find, accurate instructions, and detailed drawings will help you succeed.”
Nancy Beubaire, editor, Organic Gardening
Review

Like many books coming on the market these days, Home Landscaping presents a simple yet sophisticated look at putting plants together in a variety of settings.

Planing a shady hideaway? Looking to color the area around your mailbox? Need a street-smart planting? How about a round garden?

Books like these offer a practical alternative to the glossy coffee-table tomes that show off beautiful gardens but offer little help deciphering what all those massed plants really are.

What sets Home Landscaping apart from any other how-to-book, however, is the publishing company’s commitment to serving a variety of regions. Home Landscaping is actually a series, comprising editions for the Southeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the Northeast (including Southeast Canada), and, coming next year, the Great Lakes region (including Southern Canada). Other titles are planned as well. (Mitch Whitten, Editor in Chief, Garden Center Merchandising and Management) REVIEW: The Home Landscaping Series promises to make your particular gardening situation easier because it’s created to suit your regional needs, and it is one of the best this reviewer has ever seen. Beautiful garden designs, illustrations, and photos, as well as plant selections created by a team of landscape professionals in the region, are included.

The series also includes detailed descriptions of plants used in the designs, with advice on their selection and care and step-by-step instructions for garden projects such as paths, walls, patios, fences, trellises, arbors, and small ponds.

All of the books in this series are perfect for first-time home owners and novice gardeners, but more experienced gardeners will find them useful too. These books consider far more than just winter hardiness zones when making plant recommendations. They address the full range of growing conditions in each region of the United States.

The series addresses the Mid-Atlantic Region, the Northeast Region (including Southeast Canada), the Southeast Region, and the Great Lakes Region (including Southern Canada). Keep the entire series on your bookshelves…you never know when you’ll be moving. — Pat Regel, Book Page

The Home Landscaping series takes the fear out of gardening by skillfully combining a wide range of attractive, dependable plants with clear, concise information on the techniques of gardening and easy-to-follow plans. — Thomas Fischer, Executive Editor, Horticulture

This gardener’s gallery of plants, plans, and techniques can help you turn a humdrum yard into a work of art. — Steve Silk, Managing Editor, Fine Gardening

Whether you’re contemplating major landscaping or minor additions and fix-ups, you’ll turn to these beautifully rendered design possibilities again and again. And you’ll find the regional focus indispensable. — Eleanore Lewis, Editor, Woman’s Day Garden Planner & Product Guide
