      Caring for outdoor plantings can be intimidating, especially if the process is completely new to you.

Doing so saves you time, money, and energy—and helps make the process a whole lot more fun!

      With help from this easy-to-follow beginner gardening guide, you’ll learn:
      • Tips for selecting the best plants and flowers for your growing conditions 
      • The best planting techniques for different types of plants
      • How to mulch trees, shrubs, and garden beds correctly 
      • Pruning dos and don’ts for common garden plants
      • Ways to keep weeds out of outdoor areas—without using synthetic herbicides
      • How to recognize and manage different pests and diseases naturally
      • Insider tips on everything from the difference between annuals and perennials to choosing the best organic fertilizer
      • Plus, you’ll find time-management advice and tips for effective, resource-conscious gardening
      You will close the book not only knowing how to care for your home's outdoor plantings using earth-friendly methods, but also knowing the satisfaction of a beautiful, all-natural landscape.
