Country gardens are diverse and beautiful; here, flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables grow in an orderly chaos, delighting the eyes and palates of their owners. The plants also help and support each other in their growth, repel pests, and provide shelter for beneficial creatures. Therefore, caring for a country garden is always a form of natural gardening. But what belongs in a country garden and how is it maintained? In chapters like "Vegetables and Herbs" or "Roses and Perennials," you will learn a lot about the plants and their site requirements. The chapter on design elements shows you which bed borders fit well or how the plants can be arranged. Crop rotation and companion planting are covered just like the "gold of the gardener," compost. But of course, above all, you can indulge in beautiful images, truly a dream of a country garden.
