Re: Ready to Take the Next Step

Hi, Marie,
Just got back from our Michigan Master Gardener's Confrence, and found 271
e-mails!  So this may be late, but for understanding garden design I
recommend Janet Macunovich's 'Easy Garden Design'.  Marvelous book from
Storey Press.  Also recommend 'Caring for Perennials by Janet.  Neither is a
'secector' type book.  The first gives you the principles of desinging a
garden in a very easy to understand method, and the second tells you what to
do after you have planted them.
