Art recommends growing North American wildflowers among cultivated plants and provides pertinent details on each plant's requirements, such as its blooming period, and maps with indications of the species' natural habitat. The clear, inviting text contains notes on the propagation of the wildlings and their special attractions for butterflies and hummingbirds, suitability in a fragrance garden, as colorful ground covers, companions in a rock garden, etc. The author also provides information on containers for wild flowers and on some that make interesting foods and drinks: wild onion, wild ginger, wintergreen, mayapple.

From the Back Cover
Advance Praise for A Garden of Wildflowers
"...packs a great deal of information that can be used by wildflower gardeners from coast to coast. Choosing 101 natives from the thousands that occur in North America was not aneasy task, and the author is to be congratulated for selecting so wisely. Tips on propagation are simple, to the point, and conservation conscious. Highly recommended!"
-- Robert Ornduff
Director, University of California Botanical Garden
"...written with a clear understanding of wildflowers in their natural environment and how they can be used in a garden setting. In a very direct, orderly presentation, the author combines horticultural techniques with an appealing sensitivity to the natural world."
-- Gail Weinstein
Botanist-Horticulturalist, Denver Botanic Gardens
