"Creative Homeowner... has apparently been taking notice of gardeners' complaints about gardening books... The newest addition to the Home Landscaping series is "Home Landscaping: Mid-Atlantic Region" by Roger Holmes and Rita Buchanan.
For each book in the series the publisher commissions landscape designers to create region-specific gardens and landscapes with the best-performing plants for that region. Factored in are local growing conditions including heat zones, terrain, soil and housing styles. Among the five landscape designers who contributed is Britan Katen, who studied at the University of Virginia and is an assistant professor of landscape architecture at Virginia Tech."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful resource.,
By Ann Lewis (Ridgewood, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Landscaping: Mid-Atlantic Region (Home Landscaping) (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful resource. The book is full of design ideas shown in site plans, 3-D renderings, and with great close up photos of the flowers, scrubs, and trees. Many designs are shown in each season and in a progression of how it will look in three to five years and then in ten to fifteen years. I found this book to be very helpful in designing flower beds, in picking plantings, and in knowing how to care for each planting.

Good use of Native Species,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Home Landscaping: Mid-Atlantic Region (Home Landscaping) (Paperback)
I'm not under 13, but I didn't want to give my name and email.This book is great. It takes advantage of some great underused native plants from the Mid Atlantic. It is very helpful because it provides plant spacing and maintenance. Most plants are low maintenance, all year interest. I have used the landscape plans in my yard and will continue to use this book as my number one reference.
