The authors explain the interrelationships of trees, wildflowers, ferns, bacteria, and the soil of woodlands; suggest ways of preparing both large and small wildflower gardens; and describe when, where, and how to gather woods plants. Includes detailed information on over 200 wildflowers and ferns. 195 illustrations.
Though this book was written over thirty years ago, in my opinion it remains unparalleled on the subject of growing woodland plants native to North America.
