I haven't spent a lot of time looking at this, but I will. I love the to have new ideas for summer, to make a yard more pretty, it's fun.

A unique approach to landscaping with really big plants!

I have checked this book out of our library so many times since discovering it that I've finally decided to add it to my home library!This book is so incredably excellent! The information in its pages is truely unique. Not only does it go into the functionality of different trees and shrubs, but it also goes into color, texture, translucency of leaves, uniqueness of bark and branching as well as the appropreatness of the location it can be planted in given it's type of root system...ie, trees that you don't want to plant by a sidewalk or diveway...If you have the space to landscape with something larger than annuals and perennials...Then this book is truely indespensible!
