An important volume in the impressive 'Fifth House Gardening on the Level' series

Native prairie plants are plants that originated naturally on the prairies of Canada and the United States. Gardeners, landscapers, and horticulturalists have come to appreciate the benefits of these plants in creating beautiful, environmentally friendly, disease resistant, low maintenance gardens in America's Upper Midwest regions and throughout the Canadian provinces. An important volume in the impressive 'Fifth House Gardening on the Level' series from the Fitzhenry & Whiteside Company, "Native Plants For Prairie Gardens" by gardening and horticultural expert June Flanagan provides the aspiring gardener with practical advice on landscaping with native prairie plants; valuable tips on acquiring, growing, and propagating native prairie plants; beautifully illustrated descriptions of native prairie wild flowers, grasses, trees, and shrubs; and a native prairie plant bloom chart. Enhanced with the inclusion of lists of seed and plant sources, native plant organizations, and even public gardens featuring or specializing in native prairie plants, "Native Plants For Prairie Gardens" is the ideal introduction and instruction manual for beginning gardens and should be a part of every personal, professional, academic, and community library Gardening Guides & Studies reference collections.

Native plants - the plants that originate naturally in a region and have been living there for thousands of years - are a gardener_s best friend when it comes to creating a gorgeous, low-maintenance, environment-friendly landscape, because they thrive in our local climate. They are relatively unaffected by drought, wind, extremes in temperature, and the unpredictable early and late frosts that define the short prairie growing season. Written especially for gardeners in the northern and central prairies of Canada and the United States, June Flanagan shows that a garden rich in native plants is beautiful in its diversity, relatively low maintenance, conserves water, is environmentally sustainable, and provides a natural habitat for birds, butterflies, and insects - all essential ingredients for a healthy garden.
