5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the photos alone!, July 17, 2000

Sunset, the bible of west coast gardening, finally comes east and it is well worth the wait.

As the owner of a home on a desolate, windswept acre, I have bought over a dozen landscape books and magazines looking for inspiration. I could have saved alot of time and money and just bought this one.

So well written you could sit down and read it straight through. And so well organized and indexed you can use it for quick reference.

It covers everything from planning to installation. Includes many sample plans with plant lists. But the best thing about this book is the PHOTOGRAPHY. The photos are stunning and plentiful. Most photos are refered to in detail in either the main text or a side bar and the photos actually pertain to the topic (which is most unusual for this type of book)!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Plethora of Gardening Ideas, December 12, 2001

This review is from: Northeastern Landscaping: A Regional Guide to Garden Design & Construction (Paperback)

The reader is offered a plethora of gardening ideas through attractive and plentiful photographs. Numerous garden types, garden designs, structural elements, and plant life are discussed in this book. However, by covering such an extensive variety of garden topics, the reader never gains an in depth appreciation of each particular garden style. This book will provide a complete overview to gardeners uncertain with which particular garden style they wish to pursue. Once the selection is made the reader would be better rewarded with purchasing a garden book dedicated to the chosen garden style.

Great book for yard landscaping. Sunset does a good job of making gardening solutions straight forward and simple. Also, wonderful photos and diagrams of garden layouts. We just moved into a new house and wanted some ideas for flower, shrub, and path layouts. The book was a few years old, but did not matter, and was in excellent condition.
