No green thumb? No problem! Succulents are the
ultimate low-care plants, able to withstand erratic
rainfall, poor soil, and outright neglect--they almost
never need pruning, watering, feeding, or fussing over.
That, along with their astounding range of colors and
forms, makes them ideal for those who want an attractive
yet low-maintenance container planting or landscape
view. In ''Planting Designs for Cactus &
Succulents,'' a book made for the gardener and
non-gardener alike, you'll find information and design
inspiration for adding these plants to your interior and
exterior spaces. Authors Sharon Asakawa and John
Bagnasco, with well over half a century of gardening
experience between them, offer expert tips for
selection, planting, and care, then show you how to
beautifully incorporate cacti and succulents into your
particular environment. More than twenty step-by-step
how-to projects are paired with gorgeous photographic
demonstrations, teaching you how to make your own
terrariums, dish gardens, living ''paintings,''
xerispheres, bouquets and centerpieces, hair ornaments,
natural walkways, birdhouse roofs, picture frames,
seasonal arrangements, and more. Just when you'd given
up, ''Planting Designs for Cactus & Succulents''
comes to the rescue as your comprehensive guide to the
plants that can survive in some of the least nurturing
environments on Earth--even if that happens to include
your house. |
