Fritz Köhlein, Peter Menzel: Color Encyclopedia of Garden Plants and Habitats

An important horticultural trend of recent years has been to go beyond the simple use of native plants in creating low-maintenance "natural" landscapes and instead to foster the development of the complex plant communities that are found in various natural habitats.
Planning this kind of naturalistic landscape on any scale from miniature to parklike must begin with careful study of the characteristics of the site. The authors of this important book present 40 different situations that might be found or created within a garden. These typical garden habitats, numbered from 1 to 40, are pictured and described at the start of the book, and the entries in the following plant encyclopedia are keyed numerically to the situations for which the plants are best suited.
