5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Nevada, Arizona Gardeners, March 15, 2002
By 
Thomas L. Ogren (San Luis Obispo, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I just finished reading this book and found it to be an excellent source for desert gardeners. The authors are long time desert gardeners themselves and it shows. The book is easy to use, easy to understand, well-written, and quite comprehensive. A great deal of plant material is covered here.
The sections on growing lawns under hot, desert type conditions are especially good, and are obviously the result of many years of hands-on, practical experience.
Much gardening reading material is not of much use for people living in areas like Las Vegas, Nevada, but this material certainly is.
If I had but one gripe about the book, it is that it does not cover allergies caused by landscape plants very well. But then, not many gardening books do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gardener's Delight, December 17, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is one of the most comprehensive books that covers all the geographical areas of Nevada. It has a wonderful cross section of plants suitable for the cold climates as well as the desert of Southern Nevada.

The authors are both respected professionals in this field, and you can trust what they say. Unlike other volumes that have more pictures than text, this one gives information that is usable.

This would be the best gifts you could give to someone that wants to enjoy getting thier hands dirty and their yards beautiful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book for Southern Nv, not so helpful for Northern Nv., August 4, 2004
By 
I recently moved from the central coast of California to Northern Nevada. Being an avid gardener, I was concerned as to what type of gardening I was going to be able to enjoy in my new home. I purchased this book prior to moving and was totally frustrated. This book leads you to believe that nothing grows in northern Nevada. Imagine my surprise when I arrived and found an abundance of plants to choose from. Some of the plants that were suppose to be forbidden for my area were growing heartily! The author's are from the Las Vegas area and really don't know much about gardening in the northern part of the state.
