With hectic lifestyles and busy schedules, people are finding it more and more appealing to enjoy their leisure time at home rather than packing their bags in search of peaceful retreats. But how can they confidently create a garden retreat? By following Cohen and Benner’s trusted advice and building a nonstop garden, they’ll have more creative planting options, a garden that requires less maintenance than a traditional perennial border.

The Nonstop Garden gives gardeners all the information they need to create a productive, beautiful garden. This easy-to-use guide is split into four main parts and includes ten fail-safe design plans that can be incorporated into any garden. Gardeners can choose from a native garden, a scented garden, a gold-colored garden, a garden for wet sites, a vibrant-colored garden, a cool-colored garden, a winter garden, a shade garden, and a design plan for the daunting area known as the hellstrip.

The authors’ easy-to-follow style with straightforward talk inspires confidence with plenty of practical guidance, plant lists of proven performers, and labor-saving advice.” —Joe Lamp’l, host of Growing a Greener World 
 
A Nonstop Garden:

Authors Stephanie Cohen and Jennifer Benner break down the basics in this beautifully illustrated guide to gardening from the ground up.

Ten easy, enchanting garden plans—including a scented garden, a winter garden, a wildlife garden, a shady garden, and more—will give you all the tools you need to get started. Building a nonstop garden has never been easier.
