Summary

"Having a maximalist garden is a bold aesthetic choice--yet it also brings vitality back to the earth, in an abundant expression of more. Garden to the Max celebrates gardens across the US that embrace maximalism through joy and wonder, nonstop blooms, and abundant layers ... Featured gardeners include an amateur ornithologist seeking to attract more birds, an event planner's tropical paradise, a pair of city dwellers reducing their carbon footprint, an urban garden pioneer promoting pollinator gardens, and a life-long biophilic propagating endangered plants to nurture insects." --
