“Easy Gardens Volume 4 – No & Low Maintenance” teaches you how to have a beautiful garden 12 months a year with little or no work. For 20 years I lived in Philadelphia and had a shady and sunny garden which bloomed 12 months a year with little or no maintenance. You, too, can do this. It seems almost unbelievable, but in one year you can have fun and watch your easy garden grow. SELECT A QUICK AND EASY GARDEN STYLE to match your needs by following the easy steps presented in 140 pages. PREPARE THE SOIL or use the raised bed designs which do not require digging. SELECT THE PLANTS by growing season so that you can have flowers blooming 12 months a year in most climates in the shade or sun. Each year they will grow, bloom and die back on their own. Do the work one year and reap the harvest for many years to come. PLANT THE PLANTS so that few weeds can grow, water your plants the easy way and enjoy your slice of Heaven. Do the work one year and reap the benefits for many years to come. Learn about window boxes, flowerpots, planters, rock gardens, terraces, rose-covered hillsides, eco-friendly gardens which are balanced in nature, wildflower meadows and wildlife and woodland gardens. Tiled gardens are beautiful and functional year around, whether or not you plant any flowers. Valuable information is also included on compost, fertilizer, mulch, weeds, disease and where you can find bargains and free plants. “Easy Gardens Volume 4” highlights the section on gardens which require no maintenance and low maintenance from the original “Easy Gardens A to Z,” which is a compilation of all I have read and learned firsthand over the years. If you purchase the complete “Easy Gardens A to Z,” you will readily find answers to all your questions: from designing your garden by following the easy steps in the 47 garden designs presented plus decks, paths and water features; to preparing your soil; to planting shady and sunny perennial and annual flowers, vegetables, fruits, bulbs, grasses, climbers, bushes and trees; to dealing with garden pests, weeds and disease; and reaping your harvest. The 47 garden designs include designs and plants suggested to create an adventure play area for children, a wheelchair accessible garden, a garden for visually impaired or a garden for cooking or relaxing. Also included are fragrant and romantic gardens, night gardens which glow in the dark, classic cottage gardens, hanging gardens and gardens designed for a noisy city balcony or windy rooftop. You might like a star-shaped garden in silvers, blues and lavenders or a beautiful tiled garden which can have little or no plantings. There are shady or sunny gardens, wet or dry gardens, warm climate or cold climate gardens, hillside terraces, wildflower meadows, eco-friendly gardens or wildlife and woodland gardens. You might want a place to attract butterflies, hummingbirds or even create a bird sanctuary. Or a 3-season garden that doubles as a parking space during the winter months. How about a nautical theme garden, Mediterranean garden, Hawaiian garden, Indian garden or Oriental garden – your choice! “Easy Gardens A to Z” is the only book you need as each page is filled with a wealth of ideas and directions on how to create your own little slice of paradise. The ebook can be purchased at www.amazon.com or www.ebooksandmoreforyou.com. “Congratulations to you on your practical, easily understandable, delightful gardening book, “Easy Gardens A to Z,” that has over 300 pages chock full of everything a gardener wants and needs to know to plant a lovely garden.
