Product Description

In today's South, where fine gardening is a tradition, many homeowners and professional gardeners are discovering a vast new palette of plant materials--native plants. They are realizing that these native wildflowers, trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vines, and grasses are far better suited, and therefore easier to grow and maintain, than most of the imported plants that populate traditional landscapes. Discover the Wasowskis' exciting vision of the many possibilities and advantages of going native. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for establishing wildlife habitat, January 22, 2000
By A Customer
I am trying to establish a native plant and wildlife habitat on my quarter acre. This book not only gives me the plant data I need, it also describes plant uses by native wildlife from toads to birds to insects, including those used as larval food for butterflies. I no longer have to cross reference from bird book or butterfly book to plant book, etc. The basics are all in one place!

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!, February 23, 2000
If you live in the Southeast and want to know more about gardening with native plants, this is THE place to start. I've poured over this book time after time, and now I have to buy a second copy because a friend kept my first copy after borrowing it! This book has great info and pictures, AND it's fun to read. What more could you ask for? (Well, how about Volume 2? ;-) )

5.0 out of 5 stars plant an attractive garden with native plants, October 22, 2003
By A Customer
I wasn't going to plant a native plant garden until I read this book. It's extremely well-organized and the authors infuse you with their excitement about the plants. The "personal comments" section is the best. Even though the plant might not be high on your list, the comments section may give some information that may make you desire it. They also have landscape designs that you can implement yourself. If you're interested in creating a butterfly or bird garden, this book lists what types of animals are attracted to the plant. They have the book parsed out into deciduous trees, deciduous shrubs, grasses, bog plants, etc. Each plant has several sections telling the shade, moisture, height, wildlife, fall colors, flower, fruit, and anything else you could possibly want to know about the plant. It's better than any of the other garden books that I have read, including ones from national gardens, etc.
