This book is aimed at helping gardeners and landscaping professionals to select and care for native ground cover plants in order to create low-maintenance, goodlooking and sustainable gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with other forms of gardening, ground cover planting is most successful and satisfying when thoughtfully planned, with plants chosen to fit the design objectives and scale of the area to be planted. Hasty, illinformed choices aimed solely at easy care can result in gardens that need to be removed a few years later because the area has become overgrown or the plants are unsuitable for the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors show how a carefully considered use of New Zealand native plants as ground cover can reduce maintenance in gardens of all sizes while creating an aesthetically pleasing environment. They suggest suitable ground cover plants, based not only on the species but also on the continuing development of the range of hybrids and cultivars that are now available to gardeners. Accompanied by more than 100 colour photographs, these suggestions will help with your plant selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also covers important topics for preparing the ground, such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewhat is a ground cover plant?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edesigning your garden\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epropagating New Zealand native ground cover plants\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eground preparation – weeds, cultivation and herbicides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canterbury University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31595918622754,"sku":"9781927145616","price":9.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/0785\/1042\/products\/ff270d0a154c35a1e0b8336eb432e0c3ad5fe528.jpg?v=1586941226","url":"https:\/\/petronella.pro\/products\/nznativegroundcoverplants","provider":"Petronella's Gallery and Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
