Grow Wild! Native Plant Gardening in Canada, 1998, by Lorraine Johnson, softcover, published by Random House of Canada, 154 pages.

From the back cover -----

From a tiny urban forest in Vancouver to a stunning wildflower garden on the prairies and on to the woodland landscapes of the east, Grow Wild! reaches into the back and front yards of dozens of native plant gardeners who are forging a new landscape aesthetic.

Native plant gardening is a landscape trend that has taken hold in North America as gardeners search for a truly indigenous style of gardening. Attractive to both a new generation of gardener who grew up in an era of environmental concerns and to the established green thumb who is looking for something new, naturalistic gardening offers a low-maintenance, sure-success and distinctive style of gardening.

With more than 100 colour photographs, encouraging profiles of successful, low-maintenance native plant gardens, detailed native plant lists offering cultiva­tion information and design ideas, and practical advice on how to create a stun­ning native plant garden, Grow Wild!  has the information and inspiration you need to create your own beautiful garden that takes its cue from nature.
