I borrowed a dozen books on naturalistic planting from a friend of mine that is REALLY into gardening. All of the books had beautiful photographs and some were interesting to read but only "Gardening With Nature" told me how to design a natural garden for my house. I'm so impressed I'm going to fork over my own money to buy it!

This is a well organized and written book, with beautiful photography, listing all the plant material and drawings gardening lovers could follow. Thus a "must" for all avid gardeners.

Nice ideas if you own a park
17 May 2001
Format:Hardcover
Although the landscapes in this book are beautiful, most of the properties shown were massive, complete with beautiful natural views surrounding them. It was fun to look at the pictures, but realistically, most people aren't dealing with the situations shown here. One terrace garden was shown, but it was small and unremarkable. All the properties shown are on the east coast, so the plant choices are not particularly useful for folks who live west of the Mississippi. It's an interesting way to spend a few minutes looking at the pictures, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone to use in planning a garden.
