"Reading Druse is like talking to a generous old friend who knows exactly when you're about to give up and comes to the rescue." ―New York Times Book Review
"In his latest book . . . Druse argues that shade gardens will be the most comfortable, satisfying and sustainable option." --Chicago Tribune

There is a new generation of gardeners who are planting gardens not only for their visual beauty but also for their ability to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

  • Designing your own garden
  • Pruning trees
  • Dealing with a troublesome deer situation
  • Preparing soil for planting
  • The vast array of flowers and greenery that grow best in the shade

Druse writes in his introduction, "The garden of the future will be a shade garden. There are many reasons: fiscal, historical, environmental--and for the sake of our health and the planet's."

Discover what Druse has learned in his many years of gardening: Creating your own lush oasis is the best defense against our changing world. Filled with guidance, horticultural facts, and useful plant recommendations, this book is sure to become a resource you will refer to again and again.
