Atlantic Coastal Gardening: Growing Inspired, Resilient Plants by the Sea - by Denise Adams

For even the most experienced gardeners, the coast can be a particularly daunting environment.  Salt spray, ocean-borne winds, storm surges and debris, and hardiness zone challenges are just the beginning.  Cultivating a rugged coastal property can be overwhelming, and it can take years of experimentation to discover which plants will not only survive, but thrive.

In Atlantic Coastal Gardening, Denise Adams offers practical tips and techniques gained from a lifetime of experience planting, cultivating, and sustaining gardens at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.  With a focus on sea-hardy flowers, vegetables, herbs, and trees, this delightful guide focuses on a range of topics specific to coastal gardeners, designed for getting the most out of your coastal property and growing beautiful, hardy plants.  Inside you'll find everything from tips for growing from seed to testing and improving coastal soil, to turning storm-salvaged ocean flotsam and jetsam into nautical garden accessories.

With simple, natural recipes for the seaside harvest, and appendix of tried-and-true coastal favourites, and hundreds of vibrant images of stunning coastal plants and properties on Nova Scotia's South Shore, Atlantic Coastal Gardening is an essential guide and keepsake for both blooming and blossomed coastal gardeners.
