Plus, edible compact plants offer <b>comparable productivity</b>, without having to add more square footage to the garden. <p/> In this comprehensive guide, Jessica uses her numerous contacts in the seed and plant production world to give space-challenged gardeners a <b>heads up on what's new</b>, as well as <b>re-introducing a few traditional small-footprint favorites</b>. <p/> In both urban and suburban neighborhoods, yards are shrinking, and big plants and gardens require too much maintenance for today's time-starved homeowners. If you're searching for <b>plants that require less space</b> and <b>reduced day-to-day maintenance</b>, dwarf shrubs and other compact plants to the rescue! With <b>little to no pruning required</b>, columnar trees, dwarf shrubs, mini veggies, short-statured perennials, and other compact plants fill a much-needed niche. <p/> In the <i>Gardener's Guide to Compact Plants</i>, you'll <b>discover fantastic, brand new dwarf and compact plant varieties</b> you didn't even know existed. And, you'll <b>learn how to grow more flowers, fruits, and veggies than ever before</b>, no matter how much--or how little--space you have. It's the perfect book for homeowners with small yards, urban gardeners, container growers, or anyone looking to grow a beautiful and productive small-scale garden.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An informative read for container gardeners, urban gardeners and all other gardeners with smaller yards and limited spaces."--<i><b>SensibleGardening.com</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jessica Walliser</b> is a horticulturist and the award-winning author of seven gardening books.
