With style, wit, authority, and a mad love for plants, C. L. Fornari has written the ultimate guide for those who want to cultivate gardens in the unique conditions of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. Since the first edition of this book was publishing ten years ago, it has been a steady seller, embraced by plant-lovers as the definitive book on the subject.

The Cape Cod Garden addresses the challenges posed by these lovely coastal landscapes and diverse growing conditions, providing hundreds of how-to tips for the gardener and home landscaper. Fornari offers practical information on choosing, planting, and maintaining trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and fruits and vegetables. Here too are the least toxic ways to deal with pests and diseases, and a complete listing of plants recommended for the area. For beginners and experts alike, The Cape Cod Garden is an invaluable guide to the pleasures and challenges of gardening by the sea.
