Plant by Numbers solves garden design and color theory problems with ease. Using the same concept as the paint-by-numbers books from our childhood, this book employs numbered watercolor illustrations and photographs that correspond to a "plant key". Each of twenty garden plans is accompanied by planting and care instructions, soil tips, seasonal considerations, and an ample list of alternative plants that can be substituted to the same effect if those suggested are not available.
Planting the perfect garden also requires a personal touch. With this in mind, Plant by Numbers encourages gardeners to extract ideas and inspiration from the twenty plans provided and dedicates two complete chapters to useful tips for putting an individual stamp on your garden.
Everything you need to create a garden masterpiece is contained in this innovative step-by-step garden design guide.
