Description
WHY GROW THAT WHEN YOU CAN GROW THIS? | Tired of fussy, invasive, or boring plants that require excess care or just plain bring your garden down? Andrew Keys, author of Why Grow That When You Can Grow This? (Timber Press, 2012), discusses native alternatives that are sexier and more sustainable than everyday problem plants. Why grow invasive burning bush for its one season of interest when you could grow native blueberry, a multi-season star? Isn’t it time to replace boring, weedy Vinca with something native and more dynamic, like ‘Gro-Lo’ sumac? Book sales and signing follow the program.
