5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Illustrated and Practical Guide to Rain Gardening, March 12, 2009

By	Marty Silagy "Marty" (Durham, NC United States) - See all my reviews

Rain Gardening in the South: Ecologically Designed Gardens for Drought, Deluge & Everything in Between

I was looking for a special gift for my neighbor who is an avid gardener and conservationist. This beautifully illustrated and practical guide to rain gardening was perfect for her. It is not overly technical and would appeal to a wide range of gardeners, even gardening wannabees.
While the title suggests it's target audience is the US South, I suspect it would be just as useful to gardeners from many different regions.
My neighbor loved it and has already started planning some great gardenscapes.
Wonderful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timely Book, April 18, 2009

By	Elin E. Nagel (Durham, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After a year of drought in my state, this is a timely book. Lots of us have bought rain barrels and are thinking about ways to both save water and maintain our gardens. The text is concise and easy to follow. The illustrations are beautiful but informative. I particularly like the descriptive charts in the "Plantings" chapter.
