    Dear Friends,

    Winter is breathing down our collective necks, and a coldblast it is, too. Short of a trip to Australia, cozying up with

    a book is the best way to keep warm while dreaming up

    plans for getting back into the garden in spring.

    Our latest offerings are bursting with color and

    inspiration. The New Low-Maintenance Garden offers time-

    strapped gardeners a way to design fantastic gardens and

    have the time to enjoy them, too. John Greenlee presents a

    compelling argument for replacing your front lawn with ameadow, which is more attractive, lower-maintenance,

    and better for the environment! Did your garden get more

    than its fair share of pests and diseases this year? Whats

    Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?) will help you

    diagnose and cure hundreds of plant maladies, and should

    be on the shelf of every gardenerincluding Australians.

    Regardless of your winter plans, we would like to thank

    you for your business in 2009, and we wish you (and yourgarden) all the best for 2010 and beyond.

    Your Friends at Timber Press

    ORGANIC REMEDIES

    David Deardorffand Kathrn Wadsworth

    Dealing with a sick plant is one of the most

    frustrating situations a gardener can face. Often

    we have no idea what is causing the problem, or

    how to x it. Fortunately, help is at hand. Whats

    Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?)

    provides an easy owchart system for diagnosing

    any problemand matching it to the right cure.

    The format is so simple it doesnt even require

    knowing the name of the plant; all you need to

    know is whether the problem is affecting the

    plants roots, stem, owers, or leaves.

    This innovative guide is split into three parts.

    Part One presents easy-to-follow, illustrated ow

    charts that allow readers to accurately diagnose

    the plant. Part Two offers a 100% organic way tox the problem. Part Three shows

    photographs and drawings of

    stressed, damaged, and diseased

    plants that help with accurate

    comparison.

    Whether your garden

    consists of herbs on a

    kitchen windowsill, a

    vegetable garden, anelaborate backyard border,

    or a container on a patio,

    Whats Wrong With My

    Plant?is an indispensable

    resource. If you can see it,

    you can x it. Curing a sick

    plant just doesnt get any

    easier.

    The Wid GardenExPANDED EDITION

    Wiiam Robinson

    With new chapters and photographyby Rick Darke

    William Robinsons revolutionary book, The

    Wild Garden, issued a forceful challenge to the

    prevailing style of the day, which relied upon

    tender plants arranged in rigidly geometrical

    designs. In sharp contrast, Robinson advocated

    for the use of hardy, locally adapted native and

    exotic plants arranged according to localgrowing conditions.

    This expanded edition includes new

    chapters and 112 color photographs by

    award-winning photographer and landscape

    consultant Rick Darke. His new material

    places wild gardening in modern context,

    underscoring Robinsons importance in the evolution of ecological design and illustrating an

    inspiring diversity of contemporary wild gardens.

    Wiiam Robinson (18381935), more than any other gardener, was responsible for sweeping away the

    carpet bedding of the Victorians and promoting a more relaxed style using hardy plants.

    Rick Darke is a landscape design consultant, author, and photographer based in Landenberg, Pennsylva-

    nia. He received the Scientic Award of the American Horticultural Society, and his landmark work, The

    Color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses, earned a Book Award from the American Horticultural Society.

    Vaerie EastonPhotography by Jacqueline M. Koch

    new way. In this inspiring book, Val Easton shows

    exactly how to have a low-maintenance garden

    that doesnt sacrice style. The lessons of this

    Gardening with Shape, lineand TetureA PlANT DESIGN SOURCEBOOK

    linden Hawthorne

    Gardening with Shape, Line and Texture bridges the gap

    between garden design books and plant reference

    encyclopedias. Leading landscaper Linden Hawthorne

    looks at plants from a designers perspective and

    emphasizes the important roles of plant shape.

    Part One reviews ne art principles and shows how

    they can be successfully applied to plant compositions

    by grouping plants into three heights: ground to knee,knee to navel, and navel to crown. She identies

    different plant shapes and shows how the use of them

    contributes to the success of the nished design. Part

    Two is a plant sourcebook with plants listed alphabeti-

    cally within their key plant shape categories.

    This innovative plant reference delivers plant

    information in a form that neatly dovetails with the garden design process and will inspire

    gardeners to look beyond color and begin to appreciate the whole plant.

    linden Hawthorne has contributed sections to a number of the Dorling Kindersley encyclopedias and

    worked to standardize the cultivation section in the latest edition of theAZ Encyclopedia of Garden Plants.

    The Rock Garden Pant PrimerEASy, SMAll PlANTS FOR CONTAINERS,PATIOS, AND THE OPEN GARDEN

    Christopher Gre-Wison

    Its not necessary to have a traditional rock garden to

    enjoy rock garden plants. In fact, these colorful,

    small plants are perfect for the pots, containers,

    window boxes, and raised beds that are the main-

    stays of modern gardens.

    World-renowned botanist Christopher Grey-

    Wilson recommends easy-to-grow plants for a

    variety of garden situations including shade, mixed

    borders, and patios. Introductory chapters explain

    how to grow and care for these gardener-friendly

    plants that are cold-hardy and adaptable. Detailed

    plant descriptions are based on his personal

    experience of seeing the plants in the wild and

    growing them in the garden. Includes excellent

    photographs to aid in selection and identication.

    Christopher Gre-Wison has been the editor of the Alpine Garden Society since 1990, and is also a

    freelance horticultural writer and photographer. He is the author of several books regarded as standard works.
