Flowers are with us at every stage of our life. They are featured in rituals and celebrations in cultures all over the world. We use them to adorn our home, to establish a mood, to give as gifts, and to create a garden of beauty and color. By choosing plants carefully, the gardener can produce a wonderful outdoor area that will continue to provide a delightful floral display throughout the seasons. The Complete Encyclopedia of Garden Flowers features the most beautiful blooms from around the world, including annuals and perennials, trees, orchids, shrubs, ground covers, bromeliads, and bulbs. As well as popular plants such as roses, rhododendrons, and camellias, there are the less well known but no less striking trumpet-shaped flowers of Brugmansia, the charming heart-shaped blooms of Dicentra, and the dazzlingly colorful flower spikes of Lupinus. The book begins with a fascinating introduction to growing flowers, choosing the right plant for your region, and caring for your garden. There are also informative articles on the different groups of flowering plants. Following this section is an A to Z of flowers, from abutilon to zinnia. For each genus there is a general introduction plus cultivation information and a helpful hint. There is also an at-a-glance table that reveals the favorite species and groups, describing their size, flower color, flowering season, fragrance, hardiness zone, and frost tolerance. Delightful full-color photographs are accompanied by detailed captions. This stunning book also features an easy-to-use seasonal calendar, a glossary, and a fully cross-referenced index. With its accessible style, mix of practical and factual information, comprehensive descriptions, and gorgeous color photographs, The Complete Encyclopedia of Garden Flowers is a must for every gardener, and for all who love the unique beauty and romance of flowers. The Complete Encyclopedia of Garden Flowers features popular flowering plants from all over the world. Some have been photographed in gardens, while others are shown in their natural habitat. The full-color shots make it easy for gardeners to picture the plants in their own garden. Book jacket.

Much more than a how-to flower gardening book (though you will learn how to), Garden Maker is for those who want to grow beautiful things that reflect the glory and majesty of the Creator and bring a little bit of heaven down to earth. From the beginning God made a garden, so it’s no surprise if you feel closer to Him with your hands in the dirt and the sun on your back. There is something profoundly soul-satisfying about creating and cultivating beauty. If you long to experience more splendor in your life, you can grow some of your very own. Join kindred spirit Christie Purifoy as she helps you unearth the simple delights of growing garden flowers, from preparing and planning to creating beautiful bouquets and other arrangements. Lavishly photographed and lovingly written, this all-seasons guide invites you to discover the innumerable joys and wonders to be found in the flower garden.
