Native Plants for Your Maine Garden

Native Plants for Your Maine Garden is aimed at home gardeners interested in native flowering perennials, foliage perennials, grasses, groundcovers, shrubs, and trees to enrich their gardens and for their cold hardiness, disease resistance, and noninvasive characteristics. Author, Maureen Heffernan describes how to choose the right plants for varying locations and cope with shallow-ledge soils, coastal sea spray, boggy or moist soils, or woodland conditions, and which plants are least attractive to deer. This informative guidebook includes two sample garden designs one for a full-sun butterfly and bird native plant garden and one for a lightly shaded woodland-type border garden.
