Great Desert Landscaping
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a great book for the desert landscaper. I live in the big bend area of Texas and have been looking for something like this for a long time. It's easy to read, lets you know what elevation, rainfall, water needs, sun etc. that particular plant need to thrive. It's written so the lay person can understand it with just the amount of information for gardner/lanscaper needs. Has been a big help in finishing up landscaping projects I've been doing and on the projects I am starting.
excellent selection

I borrowed 3 books related to xeriscaping from the library. This was an absolute find, well-organized, full color pictures, with water, soil and sun requirements listed. I chose it as my one MUST have book.
An informative, "user friendly" book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Southwest gardeners who live in very dry areas will benefit from Mary Rose Duffield and Warren Jones' Plants For Dry Climates, an informative, "user friendly" book which tells how to build and maintain a landscape on very little water. Plants For Dry Climates and a focus on organizing a planting area based on usage makes for a title which tells how plants can improve the climate around one's house.
Wonderfull plant directory with great color photos

The plant dictionary is very thorough, and helpful.The color photos are an excellent tool for someone who is unfamiliar with plants for dry regions. Information is easy to find, and to the point.
outstanding book for xeriscaping
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The authors start out with the background information regarding the environment and basic gardening techniques. Then the book provides in-depth information on the suitable plants along with photographs. These detailed descriptions are very useful and clear. I highly recommend to anyone who is thinking or just want to know about xeriscaping.
