The Cape Cod Garden

The Cape Cod Garden is the first comprehensive source book for planting and maintaining beautiful gardens on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket. In these sea-sculptured lands, gardening is largely determined by sandy soils, moist off-ocean air, cool springtime temperatures, and wind. This book addresses the challenges posed by these lovely coastal landscapes and diverse growing conditions, providing hundreds of “how-to” tips for the gardener and home-landscaper. Practical information on choosing, planting, and maintenance of trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and fruits and vegetables is included. Here too are the least toxic ways to deal with pests and diseases, and a complete listing of plants recommended for the area. For beginners and experts alike, The Cape Cod Garden is an invaluable guide to the pleasures and challenges of gardening by the sea.
