Description
Survival in the Darwinian Garden: Planting the Fittest
Sooner or later most of us gardeners fall in love with a blue poppy that would rather be in the Himalayas or a hybrid tea rose that looks fine at the nursery but develops every disease in the book the instant we plant it. Figuring out how to satisfy the needs of these fussy plants can be a rewarding challenge - or an exercise in frustration.
I prefer my garden to be an escape from the frustrations of life. Choosing plants that want to grow where we plant them is a good way to have a garden that provides more pleasure and less work. Survival in the Darwinian Garden is an exploration of good, tough, well-adapted plants and gardeners’ strategies for encouraging plants to survive beautifully in their gardens.
