Plants that Look Good
While even the humblest potato plant is beautiful to the urban gardener, most passer-by may not find much curb-side appeal in your root veggies. Try spicing up your plot with flowers that will not only please the eye, but will do much to attract beneficial bees and butterflies to your garden.
On this page you will find links to our plant guides for the most popular and easy-to-care-for flowers and edible flowers for the urban garden. These useful guides contain photographs of the plants, as well as tips and advice on how and when to plant and care for each variety.
Use the links below to download the PDFs of Plants that Look Good Guides. Each Guide is a half a page tall so that they can serve as quick reference; each PDF contains two guides.
