Cultivating chaos : how to enrich landscapes with self-seeding plants / Jonas Reif, Christian Kress ; with photos by Jürgen Becker ; foreword by Noel Kingsbury.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 178-179) and index.
Summary:
Self-seeding plants can create naturalistic gardens of great charm, but left to their own devices quickly spiral out of control. Maintaining the balance of plants so that a small number of robust species do not evict the others and developing the structure of the garden are important techniques to acquire. Taking inspiration from the gardens of Christopher Lloyd, Derek Jarman and Henk Gerritsen. Cultivating Chaos teaches how to prepare your soil for improved germination, guide your planting as it evolves, and create different ecological niches from which will emerge beautiful, species-rich gardens.
