• Perfect Book! 16 June, 2008
If a person were limited to only one book of this type, "California Home Landscaping" would be my choice. Twenty-four different landscaping situations are presented in detail with variations and the plants illustrated are identified by name. The mid-section of the book discusses hardscaping,water delivery and basic care of plants and the last section contains plant profiles with color photographs. All in all, a great resource!

• Plant By Numbers! 08 May, 2008
For us gardeners who are designed-challenged, this book is the cure for our artistic inabilities. I tend to plant in straight rows, with no conception of color coordination or eye-pleasing placement of plants. California Home Landscaping is filled with easy-to-follow "garden planting maps": the right plants, the right spacing, the right shape! One great section offers designs for a very common hard-to-plant area... curbside strips. This zone between the street and the sidewalk doesn't have to be a rectangle of beat-up lawn. California Home Landscaping has suggestions for beautiful yet tough plants that can fill this difficult part of the yard. And if deer are a problem in your area, this book has a great picture and plan of an unobtrusive fence that is only five feet high, yet keeps the deer out.
