Gardening in the South

Welcome to Gardening in the South! The secret to creating a successful landscape design is using a logical planning process. By selecting the right plant for the right location, caring for the plant so it can thrive and grow, and diagnosing pest problems as they develop, you can assure that your yard matures into a beautiful showplace.  

In this book, we’ll summarize woody plant variety recommendations for the Southeastern United States, and offer specific pointers to keep your landscape healthy and sustainable.  And for those special questions that reach beyond this book, we’ll help you connect to the deeper information resources of Cooperative Extension.
