The Art of Maintaining a Florida Native Landscape

Planting a native landscape in Florida will reduce your use of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, but that doesn't mean it will be maintenance-free. This refreshingly honest book offers practical advice for keeping your native landscape healthy and sustainable throughout the year. Acclaimed author Ginny Stibolt, an experienced gardener and botanist, dispels the myths of working with native plants and delves into topics such as removing invasives, propagation techniques, managing edges, going without mowing, and landscaping in moist habitats. Easy-to-read and supplemented with photos, illustrations, and useful tips, this book is a must-read for novices and advanced gardeners alike. 270 pp.
