Información de la editorial

There are no stupid questions here. Everyone has to start somewhere, after all. In The First-Time Gardener: Growing Plants and Flowers, Sean and Allison McManus, the gardening pros behind the popular website and podcast Spoken Garden, answer all of your questions and more. Caring for outdoor plantings can be intimidating, especially if the process is completely new to you. Before running to the hardware store to stock up on plastic bags of mulch and tools you don't really need, arm yourself with the know-how to plant and tend outdoor areas correctly and safely. Doing so saves you time, money, and energy--and helps make the process a whole lot more fun! With help from this easy-to-follow beginner gardening guide, you'll learn:

  • Tips for selecting the best plants and flowers for your growing conditions
  • The best planting techniques for different types of plants
  • How to mulch trees, shrubs, and garden beds correctly
  • Pruning dos and don'ts for common garden plants
  • Ways to keep weeds out of outdoor areas--without using synthetic herbicides
  • How to recognize and manage different pests and diseases naturally
  • Insider tips on everything from the difference between annuals and perennials to choosing the best organic fertilizer
  • Plus, you'll find time-management advice and tips for effective, resource-conscious gardening
You will close the book not only knowing how to care for your home's outdoor plantings using earth-friendly methods, but also knowing the satisfaction of a beautiful, all-natural landscape. This book is part of The First-Time Gardener Guide series from Cool Springs Press, which also includes The First-Time Gardener: Growing Vegetables. Each book in The First-Time Gardener Guide series is aimed at beginner gardeners and offers clear, fact-based information that's presented in a friendly and accessible way, including step-by-step instructions and full-color illustrations throughout.

Acerca del autor

Sean McManus grew up working on his family's rhododendron farm in Washington State. This early training sparked his lifelong passion for horticulture, which he pursued through two degrees at Washington State University, including a Master's in Environmental Horticulture as well as other horticulture, landscaping, and gardening-related certificates. Sean has over 8 years of experience in Industrial Garden Maintenance and 12-plus years of experience operating a private landscape and consulting company. Sean and his wife Allison are the team behind the website, blog, and podcast Spoken Garden. Started as a way to connect with others through their love of science, gardening, and education, Spoken Garden helps people connect with nature through smart, sustainable garden maintenance.
Allison McManus is the product of two nature-loving parents who instilled in her a deep love and respect for the natural world. From a very young age, she assisted in garden maintenance tasks around the yard in Washington state. A self-professed "science nerd," she pursued a degree in Exercise Science, always staying in tune with her love of the natural world. Currently, Allison is a National Board-Certified Science Educator. She taught eighth grade science for 13 years before shifting her focus to Spoken Garden full time in June 2019.
