Nice concept

I gave this book only 4 stars because I was disappointed in the pictures of the flowers. I think that the concept of the book is wonderful, but the watercolor pictures were very simple -- you can't really tell what the plants look like. One would definitely be able to use this book to get an idea of what they wanted in the garden when planning, but they would need an additional book with better pictures to really 'see' what the garden will look like. Overall, I'm very glad I have the book, and it will be a wonderful addition to my gardening library.

A Great Help!

This book is incredibly useful. It tells you everything you need to know and is well illustrated. It shows a close up of the plant and a view of the entire plant. But the best thing is that the pages are split three ways according to the plant's height. So you can mix and match pages to see how different height plants work together. It also has all the information about plants, sun, water, propagation, etc. I recommend this book highly to anyone landscaping in Texas and many of the plants work in other states as well.
