Native Trees and Shrubs for Quebec Gardens

Often overlooked in our landscaping or vegetable gardens, native trees and shrubs nonetheless hold tremendous potential. Their coevolution with other ecosystem actors makes them resistant, resilient plants well adapted to our climatic conditions.

In Arbres et arbustes indigènes pour les jardins du Québec, 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 grow, 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 in the importance of our plant heritage, whether for ecological, edible, or decorative purposes.
