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 (and anything from the BBG) is smart and useful

This book is one of the "primers" on specific subjects that have been availablefrom 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 usuallyprovide 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.
