What is Seaside Gardening about?

Gardening is one of the great pastimes of those who live on the seashore, where a garden can be anything from an artful arrangement of flowerpots on a wooden deck to a landscaped estate with a private beach. The ocean breezes, bright sunlight, salt air, sand, and dramatic storms that make the seashore evocative and invigorating are a gift to the gardener, but also present a challenge. Seaside Gardening shows how experienced gardeners have created beautiful gardens in a range of shoreline environments, including small fenced-in lots in crowded summer communities, sandy ocean dunes, rocky shore lines, and the wetlands on bays and estuaries. A well-illustrated section devoted to design shows gardens that frame views; colorful borders that combine perennials, annuals, and grasses; patio and deck gardens; ponds and pools; and diverse treatments of paths and trellises. The chapter on the practical aspects of seaside gardening is full of useful information for both first-time and experienced gardeners. An extensive plant list offers a broad selection of species appropriate for seaside conditions, from traditional garden varieties of flowering plants, vines, groundcovers, shrubs, and trees
