Våga beskära! Många av trädgårdens växter blir vackrare, blommar bättre, får mer frukt eller finare form om vi håller efter dem med sax, sekatör och såg. Att beskärning dessutom hör till de roligaste bestyren i trädgården är bara en bonus.
”Konsten att beskära” ger dig den kunskap du behöver för att göra säkra klipp. Den lär dig att lägga korrekta snitt med rätt redskap och ger dig svar på frågorna Hur, När och Hur mycket. Allt för att du med självförtroende ska kunna ta dig an såväl fruktträd som rosor, bärbuskar, klätterväxter, häckar, prydnadsträd, prydnadsbuskar, medelhavsväxter och barrväxter.
En instruktiv handbok för dig som aldrig beskurit förr, men också för dig som brukar beskära dina buskar och träd men känner dig osäker på om du gör rätt.

Their scented flowers are well-known to many with whorls of fragrant blossom sitting perfectly at nose-height. Symbolising first love, their fleeting bouquet can provoke a sense of nostalgia. As a garden flower they became a popular choice in the eighteenth century, particularly across North America, and lingering shrubs and blooms in the wild are a telltale indication of where earlier dwellings might have been.Naomi Slade explores a wide range of different Lilacs, drawing our attention to the varying shades of pink, lavender, mauve, burgundy and of course, lilac, and also to white, blue and yellow varieties. Lilacs are durable plants and this book offers advice on how to care for and propagate your flowers, how to identify rare species and practical tips for how to get the most glorious blooms and the most bountiful cut flowers.

In a world without wood, we might not be here at all. Without wood, we wouldn''t have had the fire, heat, and shelter that allowed us to expand into the colder regions of the planet. If civilization somehow did develop, our daily lives still would be vastly different: there would be no violins, baseball bats, chopsticks, or wine corks. The book you are now holding wouldn''t exist.
At the same time, many of us are removed from the world where wood is shaped and celebrated every day. That world is inhabited by a unique assortment of eccentric craftsmen and passionate enthusiasts who have created some of the world''s most beloved musical instruments, feared weapons, dazzling architecture, sacred relics, and bizarre forms of transportation. In A Splintered History of Wood, Spike Carlsen has uncovered the most outlandish characters and examples, from world-champion chainsaw carvers to blind woodworkers, the Miraculous Staircase to the Lindbergh kidnapping case, and many more, in a passionate and personal exploration of nature''s greatest gift.

From the fields of Gettysburg to the home of Kerouac, Horan takes an unlikely premise and weaves it into a story that''s poignant, insightful and unexpectedly humorous. This is more than a book about seeds—it''s about literary heroes, forensic forestry, and self-discovery." —Spike Carlsen, author of A Splintered History of Wood
The Orchid Thief meets Botany of Desire meets Driving Einstein''s Brain in Richard Horan''s Seeds, the chronicle of one man''s quest to understand the influence and impact of trees in American life and literature—and his mission to collect seeds from the homes of Kerouac, Welty, Wharton, Kesey and twenty other authors, to preserve the literary legacy of American forests for generations to come.

The classic easy-reference field guide with more than 1500 photographs: “An almost foolproof practical reference book.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) This useful book for botanists, horticulturists, and nature lovers is made up of two parts: Pictorial Keys and Master Pages. The Keys are designed for easy visual comparison of details that look alike, narrowing the identification of a tree to one of a small group—the family or genus. Then, in the Master Pages, the species of the tree is determined, with similar details placed together to highlight differences within the family group, thus eliminating all other possibilities. All of the more than 1500 photographs were made specifically for use in this book and were taken either in the field or of carefully collected specimens. Where possible, details such as leaves, fruit, etc., appear in actual size, or in the same scale.

This beautifully illustrated book on landscape gardening addresses shrubs and how to determine which you should plant among your perennials and where. Shrubs provide the foundation for a pleasing, yet low-maintenance garden. They are long-lived, have the ornamental appeal of perennials, and provide variety in color, size, shape, and texture, as well as shelter and berries for birds. Shrubs can make attractive arrangements indoors and provide seasonal variation through the entire year. Gillian Harris's illustrations are botanically correct works of art that make this book absolutely irresistible.
