Waterwise Plants for Sustainable Gardens by Lauren Springer Ogden

Waterwise Plants for Sustainable Gardens by Lauren Springer Ogden

People everywhere are facing the realities of restricted water availability. Yet sustainable gardens and landscapes that use less water don't have to be boring. The key to keeping your garden beautiful and waterwise is intelligent plant choice.

This practical and inspiring guide includes all kinds of plants, from trees to succulents, from perennials to bulbs, selected for their wide adaptability and ornamental value. And whereas most books on drought-tolerant plants focus on southwestern, high desert, or Mediterranean climates, the Ogdens cover both humid and arid parts of zones 4 to 10 and offer choices for gardens from coast to coast.

Each of the 200 entries states where the plant is best adapted, along with its light needs, soil preference, and mature size. Well over 100 related waterwise plants are also mentioned, expanding your options even further. What's more, the authors tell why each plant deserves to be in gardens and suggest creative design ideas and good companion plants.

Scott and Lauren Ogden have appeared on various television shows and in magazines such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Nature, Martha Stewart Living, Sunset, and Horticulture. Two book awards from the American Horticultural Society and a landscape design award from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers are among the honors. Scott studied geology and paleontology at Yale before deciding to make horticulture and garden design his life's work.
