A regional guide to gardening on the Cape

Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket bring distinctive conditions to garden planning, including sandy soil, seaside exposure, and the need to account for salt tolerance. C. L. Fornari’s guide addresses those local considerations alongside practical topics such as screening plants and blue hydrangeas. An index helps readers navigate its range of gardening subjects, from flowers to fungicides. The book frames gardening in this region as a matter of understanding its particular challenges and opportunities, with advice focused on cultivating gardens suited to the Cape and its neighboring islands.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners working with sandy soil or seaside conditions in Cape Cod and the islands
  • Readers seeking regional guidance on plants, screening, or blue hydrangeas
  • Gardeners interested in adapting plant choices to local growing conditions

Book overview

The perfect how-to guide for gardening on Cape Cod and the islands.

Plants for screening, blue hydrangeas, salt tolerant plants, gardening for the seaside and sandy soil--the author deftly disentangles the many idiosyncrasies and potential pitfalls of growing a healthy and beautiful garden, both on the Cape and on the surrounding islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, a climate in equal measure challenging and rewarding.

C. L. Fornari has herself lived and gardened on the Cape for twenty-five years and is the author of many acclaimed gardening books, quite a number of them focusing on the Cape's growing conditions.

Complete with an index to help you navigate the parade of flowers, fungicides, and footstools, Sand & Soil will help you bring forth beautiful blooms from this legendary landscape.
