Sustainable Horticulture for Wyoming: A Master Gardener handbook

Gardening is among the most popular leisure activities in Wyoming, America, and throughout the world. How a person gardens can have a significant impact, both positive and negative, on the local and regional environment. As a result, gardeners are becoming more aware of environmental protection and improvement practices.

“Sustainable gardens” thrive with minimal inputs of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, but they still require careful planning and attention. This handbook is an in-depth guide for gardeners wishing to improve their knowledge of sustainable gardening. The 460-page handbook has chapters on plants for Wyoming, botany basics, plant identification, soils and fertilizers, composting, entomology, plant diseases, weed and pest management, diagnosing plant problems, pruning, plant propagation, arachnids, landscaping, and more.
