Learn how to create low-maintenance gardens full in scope but realistic in hours and energy required. Popular tricks for easy care are noted, such as the use of ground covers over large areas, rather than lawns or demanding perennials, ways of incorporating pest-free plants, and a list of "especially well-behaved perennials." Even budget is considered, a refreshing angle among today's often overly lavish tomes. Roth does not limit readers to only a few types of gardens but surveys a range of designs, from flowers, fruits and vegetables, to trees and shrubs, and woodland and wildflower plans.
