Not Good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Landscape Operations: Management, Methods, and Materials (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is not good. It touts covering the greenhouse/nursery business, there was a total of 9 pages covering nothing. I could not find any useful information regarding industry specific information other than how to build this and that. Most of the how-to information is outdated and highly generalized with lack of interest to codes, etc. If you are going to buy, buy used.

Very Poor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Landscape Operations: Management, Methods, and Materials (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Being a Landscape Architecture student I thought this book would be very good. I was sadly dissapointed after purchasing it and realizing that the author just touches on some of the important information and doesn't seem to go into any detail what so ever. Sometimes it seems as if the author doesn't even know what he it talking about. I think this was just a case of wanting another published book to add to the resume so he filled it with generalized information.
