 Small, short book on an interesting topic June 20, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got this for a friend who has native beach grasses instead of a traditional lawn, and she was able to glean useful information out of it. It's a very short book, and it doesn't cover every climate possible, but it also doesn't set out to do that. There are plenty of good alternative ideas for your lawn. I recommend this to anyone who wants to conserve water, do something natural, or try something a little different.

This book is one of the "primers" on specific subjects that have been available
from the Brooklyn Botanic garden since I was a teenager just startng in horticulture.
I have never been disappointed in a book from this institution - they usually
provide practical, science-based advice on the topic in question, such that
gardeners can immediately apply what they've learned. Strongly recommended
for "Master Gardeners" as an information resource and also recommended
to folks who need practical help.
