Today, many gardeners are exploring the possibilities of a naturalistic garden. With cogent arguments, detailed instructions, and a flair for the poetic, Rob Proctor's Naturalizing Bulbs takes a giant step toward realizing this potential. Knowing that the emphasis here is on robust, easy-care plants, Proctor demonstrates how the bulb will inevitably become one of the most pleasant and prolific components of the naturalistic garden.

From woodland glade to sun-drenched meadow, from city courtyard to country vista, from streamside to arid slope, bulbs can transform and redefine a landscape. Illustrated with full-color photography, Naturalizing Bulbs explores the many areas in the garden suitable for planting bulbs and the wondrous effects that can be achieved.
