This review is from: Grow Native: Landscaping with Native and Apt Plants of the Rocky Mountains (Paperback)

We bought an old house with an old yard that needs a revitalization program, hence the purchase of this book.

Well, the good and the bad of this book is that it is in black and white.

It has illustrations that I love. The illustrations are of a man next to the plant in question, which gives you a lot of perspective on what that plant is going to be at maturity. It's great, I love that.

It has black and white photos of the plants. I hate that. A black and white photo of a plant just doesn't help much. You have to look the plant up in another book with color photos to see what it actually looks like.

The book has good information on the varieties of plants, how much to water, where to plant, etc. It is just too bad this one book could not be THE book instead of coming up short.
