Designing Natural Gardens

Combining garden design with organic and holistic concerns, here is the first comprehensive manual to show you how to turn any garden into a sanctuary that enhances your well-being. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 stunning full-color photographs and scores of charts and drawings, Designing Natural Gardens provides inspiration as well as practical suggestions for creating the healthy garden of your dreams -- from a habitat garden to a healing garden of herbs and spices, from a wildlife garden that embraces nature to an organic vegetable garden that brings nature to your table. Whether you cultivate an oasis in the desert, simulate a mountain stream, or tend to your roses, Designing Natural Gardens offers diverse yet simple ideas for creating the perfect outdoor retreat that is nourishing to the body, mind, and spirit.Chris Madsen is the author of 'Designing Natural Gardens' with ISBN 9781931498104 and ISBN 1931498105.
