\"\"Beauty by Design: Inspired\u00a0Gardening\u00a0in the Pacific Northwest<\/a> \/Terry, Bill and Rosemary Bates.
\n<\/strong>This ebook is not a how-to on gardening, but provides ideas and enchantment for seasoned gardeners and beginners alike. Eleven inspired artists share their stories, their secrets, and their passion for gardening in the Pacific Northwest coast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Butterfly\u00a0Gardening: The North American Butterfly Association Guide<\/strong><\/a> \/Hurwitz, Jane and Project Muse.
\n<\/strong>This guide, illustrated with more than two hundred color photographs and maps presents essential information on how to choose and cultivate plants that will attract a range of butterflies to your garden and help sustain all the stages of their life cycles.<\/p>\n

\"\"Early Canadian\u00a0Gardening: An 1827 Nursery Catalogue<\/strong><\/a> \/Woodhead, Eileen and William W. Custead.<\/strong>
\nReproducing a rare 1827 plant and seed catalogue, this title presents an extensive range of garden plants that were grown for food and medicines, as well as ornamental purposes. This ebook provides a valuable account of the business of horticulture in the first decades of the nineteenth century — the practices of importers, merchants, farms, and households — placing it within the broader context of social history.<\/p>\n

\"\"Urban Gardening and the Struggle for Social and Spatial Justice<\/a> \/Certom<\/strong>\u00e1, Chiara, Susan Noori, and Martin Sondermann.<\/strong>
\nThis title explores urban\u00a0gardening\u00a0practices (re)emerging worldwide as new forms of bottom-up socio-political participation. Through a critical exploration of international case studies, this title investigates how gardeners are willing and able to contrast urban spatial arrangements that produce peculiar forms of social organisation and structures for inclusion and exclusion, by considering pervasive inequalities in the access to space, natural resources and services, as well as considerable disparities in living conditions.<\/p>\n

\"\"When Good Gardens Go Bad: Earth-Friendly Solutions to Common Garden Problems<\/a> \/Barrett Judy.
\n<\/strong>This title offers safe, practical, and inexpensive advice for handling common garden problems and challenges. Dispelling the belief that gardens should be perfectly controlled environments, Barrett encourages gardeners to embrace the imperfections and gives organic and homemade solutions to common gardening issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
