Creating And Planting Alpine Gardens: How To Build Small Rock Gardens And Work With Alpine Plants

Creating and Planting Alpine Gardens: How to Build Rock Gardens and Work with Alpine Plants introduces gardeners to time-tested ways of achieving success with alpines in North American growing conditions.

The author begins with descriptions of alpine sites and ways of handling rocks and building small gardens. He continues with information on growing alpines in troughs and tufa rock, other containers, raised beds, and alpine houses and frames. His opinionated discourse on suggested alpine plants is a treat and an inspiration.
