Not if you live in the tropics,
By
This review is from: Landscaping With Tropical Plants (Sunset Series) (Paperback)
This book is not for someone living in Zones 8,9,10 of the U.S. It focuses on how to use non-tropical plants or tropical plants as annuals to acheive a tropical "look". Not good if you actually live in the tropics and want a guide to plants for your area and how to care for them.

Beautiful Pictures,

This review is from: Landscaping with Tropical Plants: Design Ideas, Creative Garden Plans, Cold-Climate Solutions (Paperback)
While the photographs in this book are attractive and plentiful, I was disappointed at the lack of in-depth information. The book was more of a general overview of possibilities. This would be a good book for beginning gardeners or those who wish merely an introduction to the subject. It is possible that my expectations were set too high, as Ms. Brandies has authored two previous books that, in my opinion, no Florida gardener should be without - "The Florida Gardener's Book of Lists" and "Herbs and Spices for Florida Gardens: How to Grow and Enjoy Florida Plants With Special Uses."

Great buy for the Tropical Gardener,
By Steve Waddell "Steve" (Hampton Roads, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Landscaping with Tropical Plants: Design Ideas, Creative Garden Plans, Cold-Climate Solutions (Paperback)
If you're like me, you prefer beautiful tropical landscape images over reading text about gardens. This book does an excellent job of that, particularly for the price. I regularly purchase books on tropical gardening, and what I don't want is another listing of plants, I can get that from the mail order catalogues. I like to see images of tropical environments that I can consider recreating, or views that show good tropical garden designs of actual plants (not drawn images). For the money, this book is well worth it.
