Fearless Gardening: Be Bold, Break the Rules and Grow What You Love

The founder of the popular blog Danger Garden urges home gardeners to break the rules, take more risks, and grow what they love. Too often, gardening advice comes in the form of rules: do this, don’t do that, buy this, don’t buy that, plant this, don’t plant that. But this kind of guidance can stifle creativity and personal expression, resulting in gardens that feel impersonal and generic. With Fearless Gardening, Loree Bohl has written a call to arms that urges home gardeners to be bold, break the rules, and grow what they love. Readers will discover advice on gardening outside their zone, shopping for unique plants, and taking risks in garden design. They will also find tips on how to discover their personal style and expand their plant palette. Bohl profiles exemplary gardens from across North America that showcase each gardeners’ unique taste and style and will inspire home gardeners to discover their own.

In addition to freelance garden writing, scouting assignments, and speaking engagements, Loree has served on the board of directors for the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon, the Pacific Horticulture Society, and the Garden Bloggers Fling Advisory Committee. 224 colour photgraphs
