4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to succulents, November 22, 1998
By A Customer
Beautifully illustrated with photographs by the author, this book is a splendid introduction for those wanting to enter the wonderful world of succulents.

The book can really be divided in two parts. The first being concerned with an introduction to succulents and the basics required to grow, reproduce, set out etc. Much of the information here is brief but there is enough "meat" to ensure that anyone approaching succulents for the first time will succeed in developing a very attractive garden - the potential for which is amply illustrated in the colour photos.

The second part of the book is devoted to an A-Z guide of popular succulents. This is perhaps where the book falls down a little as "popular" depends on a variety of factors. As this book is written by a New Zealander who has obviously visited the western USA, "popular" refers to succulents popular in these locations. Nonetheless the guide does give the main families of succulents and is therefore an excellent start.

All in all a very worthwhile book for the beginner and if the succulent bug doesn't bite you (and it probably will) this book will meet all your succulent gardening needs.
