3.0 out of 5 stars Landscaping using Texas natives., August 5, 1998

Mary T. Salmon "ldylatuna" (TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Native Texas Gardens: Maximum Beauty, Minimum Upkeep (Hardcover)

I was disappointed in latest Wasowski book. Projects by landscape architects using Texas natives seemed more like Texas architectural guide.Pictures were small and one did not recognize xeriscape award recipient,Ron Bolton of Dripping Springs. References in back were useful.Good coffee table/novice gardener book.

5.0 out of 5 stars iInspiring, shows the creative range of using natives., August 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Native Texas Gardens: Maximum Beauty, Minimum Upkeep (Hardcover)

An eye-opening look at what can be done with natives. This book probably couldn't have been done ten years ago, but clearly the native plant movement is alive and well and growing by leaps and bounds. Common sense gardening. A must for any Texas homeowner.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Native Texas Gardens: Maximum Beauty, Minimum Upkeep (Hardcover)

I bought this book hoping it would help me plan and grow a Texas garden. It's just a book about other people's gardens, and often it didn't even describe the plants used in each or even the planning process. Nice photos. Not a how to book.
