| readers digest guide to gardening: Southern Gardening All Year Long Gary R. Bachman, 2022-02-08 Winner of the 2022 Communication Award from the National Association of County Agricultural Agents Southern Gardening All Year Long approaches southern landscapes from a different perspective. Instead of encyclopedic lists and articles focused on botanical gardens or someone else’s landscape, author and host of Southern Gardening Gary R. Bachman connects with his audience through personal stories that share his expertise gained over decades of planting, all told in an easily digestible format. Most stories in Southern Gardening All Year Long focus on Bachman’s hands-on experience with gardening. He recounts tales about his own personal gardens—plants that have thrived and failed—and presents his advice in a common-sense style. Bachman's personal, conversational writing makes Southern Gardening All Year Long an old-fashioned, over-the-fence chat with a knowledgeable and helpful neighbor. Just as he has done in newspapers, and on television and radio, with Southern Gardening All Year Long, Bachman hopes to help gardeners be successful in their own landscapes, alleviate some of the apprehension new gardeners feel, and inspire experienced gardeners to try new plants instead of the same old plantings every year. Gardening success doesn’t always follow steps 1-2-3, but Bachman encourages readers not to worry about plants that don’t survive. Failures happen in gardens every season. Offering a variety of tips and tricks and over 170 color images, Southern Gardening All Year Long will become a gardener’s best friend. |

His inspired and easy-to-follow guide helps you create the outdoor living space of your dreams, even if gardening isn't your thing.

Start with what you already love-your clothes, your favorite colors, your taste in furniture or art-and learn how to translate those choices into an outdoor design that reflects you perfectly, even if you've never sunk a shovel into the soil before. 2. Next, go on a few dates with your yard (cocktails, anyone?) to get to know the conditions there and how they'll dictate what you should plant and what you should avoid. 3. Then, using one of three primary outdoor design styles-the classic, the modernist, and the naturalist-you'll use mix-and-match design suggestions to plan and plant the yard and garden you've always hoped for. 4. And finally, look to case studies in each of the three design styles, accompanied by before-and-after illustrations of outdoor rehab projects, to further illustrate all the gorgeous possibilities available to you. Whether you've just purchased your first home or have an existing, overgrown mess of shrubs and trees, Field Guide to Outside Style gives you the confidence to select plants and design concepts that work with your home, fit within your abilities, and ultimately match the rest of your life perfectly.
