Often overlooked in our landscaping or vegetable gardens, native trees and shrubs nonetheless hold tremendous potential. Co-evolution with other ecosystem players makes them resistant, resilient plants well-adapted to our climatic conditions.
In Native Trees and Shrubs for Quebec Gardens, Bertrand Dumont identifies and profiles over 130 plants whose qualities should earn them a prominent place in our landscapes. The ecological conditions in which they naturally thrive, their edible uses, and their applications in a garden are described in a precise and rigorous style.
Information on how these plants should be selected, purchased, planted, and maintained is also provided. This book is for all gardeners who believe that our plant heritage, be it ecological, edible, or decorative, is important.
