Gardening with Wild Flowers by Frances Tenenbaum, 1973

Gardening with Wild Flowers by Frances Tenenbaum.

Everyone loves wild flowers, yet relatively few people feel capable of growing them. The reason, according to the author, who learned the hard way, is that the techniques of successful wildflower gardening are distinctly different - often just the opposite from those of growing cultivate plants. Once they are understood, however, wild flowers are not only easy to grow, but the wild garden, as in nature, is virtually self-maintaining.

Tenenbaum's Gardening with Wild Flowers is the perfect addition to any gardener's shelf, especially now with renewed interest in naturalist gardening and the popularity of the rewilding movement.
