"Where do I start?" you cry, surveying the crowded trees, tangled vines, and overgrown bushes of your neglected garden. All gardens can grow tired with age. Rejuvenating a Garden is for gardens in need of serious help, or just some new ideas and a good overhaul. Stephen Anderton"s clear text instructs you on how to take a long, critical look at your existing garden and determine your needs, while assessing your soil, plants, and restrictions. The next goal is to organize a plan of attack on what to keep, what to rescue, and what to rip out. With more than 300 photographs, many of them before-and-after, Rejuvenating a Garden shows how to do major clearance, eradicate weeds, prune, and replant. Unlike other books on pruning, this book has a comprehensive directory of the ways plants respond to pruning, where to cut, and how to successfully get away with very heavy pruning on bushes, trees, and even lawns. An untended garden is not romantic; it is a battle between plants, and the ugliest one usually wins. No need to rip it all out and start over - Rejuvenating a Garden can breathe new life into the worst old garden.
