By Terry Wallace
Since childhood, Terry Wallace has had a passion for gardening. Now an accomplished landscape designer with over 30 years of experience, she owns Wallace Landscape Associates, and has made it her life’s work to design gardens across the Mid-Atlantic.
In Wallace’s new book Landscaping for the Mid-Atlantic, she guides readers through the creation of landscape and the joys of gardening. She provides a step-by-step guide to creating and sustaining beautiful gardens, including information on climate-specific maintenance for readers who want to create their own botanical retreats.
Wallace explains, “The purpose of this book is to think of your outdoor spaces in a different way. The most enjoyable gardens are designed very much like the interior of a house. They have spaces for the activities of everyday life, as well as those for parties and special occasions.”
Throughout the book, readers are guided through hundreds of different garden designs and given professional advice on planting, maintaining, designing and styling. Readers will find this book to be resourceful in designing a garden best fit for their own backyards.
