It emphasizes observation, flexibility, and a deep appreciation of natural processes. Rich photographic examples from European gardens illustrate the approach, offering visual inspiration. Though many of the plant suggestions are tailored to European climates, the underlying principles are broadly applicable and can help gardeners everywhere cultivate sustainable, biodiverse environments.. Very Good- with no dust jacket .
