520    Covering a broad array of landscape plants, including 
       edibles, flowering and fruiting trees and shrubs, 
       evergreens, and perennials, horticulturist Jessica 
       Walliser takes a deep dive into the emerging category of 
       compact plants.   Whether short, narrow, columnar, or 
       dwarf, this new and exciting group of plants provides the 
       same decorative function as full-sized ornamental plants, 
       but in a fraction of the space. Plus, edible compact 
       plants offer comparable productivity, without having to 
       add more square footage to the garden.   In this 
       comprehensive guide, Jessica uses her numerous contacts in
       the seed and plant production world to give space-
       challenged gardeners a heads up on what's new, as well as 
       re-introducing a few traditional small-footprint 
       favorites.   In both urban and suburban neighborhoods, 
       yards are shrinking, and big plants and gardens require 
       too much maintenance for today's time-starved homeowners. 
       If you're searching for plants that require less space and
       reduced day-to-day maintenance, dwarf shrubs and other 
       compact plants to the rescue! With little to no pruning 
       required, columnar trees, dwarf shrubs, mini veggies, 
       short-statured perennials, and other compact plants fill a
       much-needed niche.   In the Gardener's Guide to Compact 
       Plants, you'll discover fantastic, brand new dwarf and 
       compact plant varieties you didn't even know existed. And,
       you'll learn how to grow more flowers, fruits, and veggies
       than ever before, no matter how much—or how little—space 
       you have. It's the perfect book for homeowners with small 
       yards, urban gardeners, container growers, or anyone 
       looking to grow a beautiful and productive small-scale 
       garden.
