Description
An introduction to gravel gardening, featuring 20 gardens across the US and Europe that are leading the way in this ecological, drought-defying, low-maintenance technique.
Gravel gardening is a drought-defying, low-maintenance gardening technique in which deep-rooted, drought tolerant perennials are planted in a deep layer of gravel that suppresses weeds and conserves water. In The Gravel Garden , longtime horticulturist Jeff Epping explores the art of gravel gardening as a naturalistic approach with huge promise for the future of ecological landscaping.
Alongside 20 gorgeously photographed gardens in both the US and Europe, including Epping's own home gravel garden in Wisconsin, the book offers insights from leading naturalistic designers such as Roy Diblik and Cassian Schmidt, as well as practical techniques for various scales and applications, from intimate home settings to expansive public and commercial spaces.
Gardeners at any scale will be inspired to create their own beautiful garden with the resilience necessary to stand up to our changing climate.
