Good Resource, Could be Even Better July 6, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a good resource and it was helpful in giving me ideas for plantings in my garden. I like the idea of showing the different takes of landscaping designers for a particular problem. It was very comprehensive with info on plant care and pruning, and even covered how to make patios, flagstone walkways, and terraced planters.
Although the close-up photos were helpful, I wish the painted mock-ups of the various designers' ideas was more detailed (some of the flowering plants illustrated with no flowers, etc.) so I could get a better idea of how the overall design would look. Also, the listing of plants in the back is ordered by their scientific names (come on! this is intended for the average consumer, isn't it?) rather than by their popular names, so that part was difficult to use as a reference.
Despite my reservations, the information is fairly easy to access and I found myself referring to this often as I designed and worked on my garden.

I love this book and use it all the time for clients...it has lots of plant ideas and color photos...also, it gives concise information regarding the plants requirements, i.e., sun, water, etc...
I highly recommend this book even if you're just sprucing up your current garden or want to make a totally new garden...
This book is great for all of southern california and I think is the most comprehensive garden design book I have in my collection....

I borrowed this book from the library first to see if it was any good. I liked it so much I bought it. If you are designing your home gardens from scratch this book is a must have. It helps you design and select plants for around your home. Selecting plants is a snap. I recently moved into a house which needed landscaping and I am using this book to design my backyard space. Well written and concise with plans that are easily translated to your space.This book is not good for looking prants up to see if a particular plant would work in a specfic light situation. Its not an almanac.
