Perennial garden plans built around plant communities

Roy Diblik’s approach organizes perennial planting on a 10-by-14-foot grid, with 62 plans pairing plants described as hardy and compatible. The book presents these combinations as small, manageable garden designs that can be followed as laid out or adapted to suit a particular space and gardener’s preferences. Its emphasis on plants growing together as a community connects practical layout with ongoing garden maintenance, while the range of plans offers a framework for bringing color, texture, and seasonal interest into a home landscape.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home gardeners seeking structured perennial planting plans
  • Gardeners interested in adaptable designs and lower-maintenance planting
  • Readers exploring landscape design through plant combinations

Book overview

"A veritable goldmine for gardeners." --Plant Talk

We've all seen gorgeous perennial gardens packed with color, texture, and multi-season interest. Designed by a professional and maintained by a crew, they are aspirational bits of beauty too difficult to attempt at home. Or are they?

The Know Maintenance Perennial Garden makes a design-magazine-worthy garden achievable at home. The new, simplified approach is made up of hardy, beautiful plants grown on a 10x14 foot grid. Each of the 62 garden plans combines complementary plants that thrive together and grow as a community. They are designed to make maintenance a snap. The garden plans can be followed explicitly or adjusted to meet individual needs, unlocking rich perennial landscape designs for individualization and creativity.
