Canadian Gardeners Guide

The third edition of Canadian Gardener’s Guide, edited by Lorraine Johnson, is being in March 2019, just in time for prime gardening season. Last updated in 2015, the expanded edition, published by DK Canada, includes several new features, such as cold frame gardening, rain gardens and backyard homesteading.

Originally published in Great Britain, the Canadian version is edited by Johnson to reflect Canada’s particular growing conditions. Plants are labelled with Canadian hardiness zones and a section on native plants, as well as numerous planting schemes, diagrams, design ideas, advice on pests and diseases, and more than 1,000 photos make this a useful reference book for new to experienced gardeners.

    Snow is still deep here ,but I look forward to morel picking season and for my over 100 Hostas and dozens of other perennials poking their heads through the humus..Ice is thick on the lake,giving me lots of time to think of planting new plants and shrubs as well as veggies after mother nature finally relinquishes the land to us mortals.pm

    I will look at Lorraine’s book for help on why and how we wound up with dog strangling vine in the garden last year, but we no longer have a dog! ;o)

    As I anxiously watch my garden waiting for the spring blooms it looks like this book would be a great way to kick off the season.

    Have gardened since I learned to walk around seventy-two years ago. Have moved from eight acres to tiny city lot. Would enjoy getting some inspiration from this fine looking book of Canadian content.

    This book looks intriguing and would love to have a copy to use to help with updating my back garden. I have found a native plant nursery in our region and had them to the gardening club I belong to to give a presentation. So interesting and such a help in planning for a more native plant garden in order to help the bees, butterflies and birds.

    Looks like a wonderful book to win. I am always looking for native plants that I can put in our woodland garden. We find it hard with all the tree roots to have enough moisture for certain plants. We have hepaticas that we found in the woods before putting in the grass and flower beds they are so pretty first thing in the spring, also have white and red trilliums, wild ginger and other flowers that I have totally forgotten their names.
    It would be great to win this book.
