Rock Garden Design and Construction

Edited by Jane McGary

The North American Rock Garden Society

Eye-catching rock gardens are among the most challenging---and satisfying---expressions of the gardenerŐs craft. A true rock garden is a specialized habitat that allows the gardener to grow plants that do not flourish anywhere else.

This book offers the first comprehensive treatment of building rock gardens in all parts of North America. Topics covered include rock placement, materials, planting and maintenance. Variations on the rock garden theme, from planting troughs to creating water features, are also discussed. The book presents regional styles and techniques and profiles a dozen public rock gardens from Oregon to Newfoundland. More than 100 inspiring photos accompany the lively text.
