5.0 out of 5 stars Reduce your choices with this book!, June 8, 2007
By S. Skal-Gerlock (Fallbrook, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a great book--it gives you the very best trees, the best vining plants, etc. I was having a hard time deciding what to plant until I bought this book. This was especially the case with trees. When you know you have room for two or three trees, but there are so many to choose from, how can you pick? This book is so helpful! They also suggest other plants that go well with the top ten in each category.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!, February 21, 2006
I'm not a California native so this book was a blessing when I moved to the Coast with my very own front and back yard to fill up. This book is easy to follow on when, where, why and how for plants and planting in California. Also it's great for beginners to advance gardeners as it helps you plan a garden and then gives you ideas on embellishments. This book is a must have!

4.0 out of 5 stars a good introduction for California gardening, June 27, 2007
I was looking for a general, beginners introduction to gardening in S. California. I think this book is good for showing highlights of what to grow and how to garden in California. I bought it for my daughter, who is new to gardening and short on time and money. It guides one to good choices, particularly in choosing trees and shrubs for the garden. My one slight disappointment: it was very brief on the subject of vegetable gardening- what to grow in each season, and how to set up the garden, soil amendments, watering, etc.

This book is helpful for determining which plants will survive best with the least effort. It does, however, mean that the plant selection is limited. Read more
