Unfortunately, the choices available at many garden centers tend to be predictable and often unsuited to the local climate and growing conditions. It doesn't have to be that way. The superior plants available today can transform ho-hum gardens into scenes of beauty and serenity. For decades, the Gossler family has tested, propagated, and sold hardy shrubs from around the world. This book is a distillation of their expertise--a guide to more than 350 of the most beautiful, versatile, and growable shrubs. Plant profiles describe the plant's main characteristics, give height and spread, and list the growing conditions needed to thrive.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Ornamental shrubs. 650 0 $a Landscape gardening. 700 1 $a Gossler, Eric. 700 1 $a Gossler, Marjory. 941 $a 9 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204041031.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110023249.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107044127.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006053102.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905055332.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20130314034748.0 952 $l RMPB397 $d 20110825011319.0 952 $l RAPD371 $d 20110802035630.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBED371AFBD011DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
