The Green Garden A New England Guide to Planting and Maintaining the Eco-Friendly Habitat Garden

The Green Garden: A New England Guide to Planning, Planting, and Maintaining the Eco-Friendly Habitat Garden presents a new style of gardening that allows the gardener to work with nature to harness an area's natural ability to maintain its own health and stability. With the humor born of experience and the lyricism that comes with a devotion to nature and the beauties of a well-tended garden, Ellen Sousa explains how to transform any size of outdoor space into a natural, living sanctuary that benefits our health, our communities, and the planet.
