• Used Book in Good Condition

Jacqueline Heriteau, named Communicator of the Year by the American Nurseryman's Association and coordinator of the Plant-A-Row for the Hungry campaign of the Garden Writers' Association of America, is well-known among Virginia gardeners.  With over 400 years of garden history, Virginia's 3-zone climate allows for nearly year-round gardening.  Jacqueline suggests that one of the best ways to learn about the plants most suitable to your landscape is to visit one of many magnificent public gardens that are found across the state, including Jefferson's Monticello in Central Virginia and Colonial Williamsburg Restoration in Tidewater, VA.  Jacqueline recommends 170 choice plant selections, including annuals, deciduous and evergreen trees, flowering bulbs, groundcovers, herbs, ornamental grasses, perennials, roses shrubs, and vines.  An entire chapter dedicated to creating ornamental water gardens adds a unique growing medium to the beauty of a Virginia landscape.  Most decidedly, Virginia gardeners will not suffer from a lack of interesting horticultural options.
