With planting season coming to an end, now is the time to sow the last bulbs of the year. What better way to find inspiration than by diving into GROWING BULBS IN THE NATURAL GARDEN by Jacqueline van der Kloet ()?

Bulbs are essential additions to any garden at any scale, inviting in pollinators, providing wonderful pops of color and personality, and extending a garden’s bloom time in the shoulder seasons. A leading figure in the New Perennial movement, van der Kloet shows readers how to adopt her whimsical, effortless planting style, incorporating bulbs as playful accents among other plants. Rife with practical information and friendly advice, GROWING BULBS IN THE NATURAL GARDEN provides unique inspiration and expert insight gained from van der Kloet’s vast career, using nature as a model.
