Product Description

Covering Texas and beyond, Plants of the Metroplex is the only Texas book available giving practical landscape advice from a landscape architect's point of view. Howard Garrett uses his years of experience as a gardener, landscape contractor, maintenance contractor, and landscape architect to give you clear-cut, money-saving advice on the proper selection, installation, and maintenance of landscape plant material for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond. Garrett also explains his organic approach, "The Natural Way," which gives gardeners greater success with lower costs and without the risks of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. All of this information has been revised and updated from Garrett's popular Plants of the Metroplex III.

J. Howard Garrett has converted several commercial projects to organic programs. They include Frito-Lay National Headquarters in Plano, Johnson and Johnson Medical in Arlington, and Collin County Community College in Plano.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 9 Mar 2000

By Donna Rizos - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Plants of the Metroplex (Paperback)

This will be the third time that I have purchased this book! I have loaned it out, and it never comes back. Probably the best resource book on gardening that I own. I love how Mr. Garrett recommends which plants to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review, 17 Jun 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Plants of the Metroplex (Paperback)

A must book for residents of the Dallas area. Has a good outline style with the high points on plants for Dallas. For a very detailed look this reference may come up short.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guide for Plants in the DFW area and similar climates!, 13 April 2005

By Nadine Haefs "GardenWize" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Plants of the Metroplex (Paperback)

Impressive! This is the most comprehensive and informative plant guides for this part of Texas and anywhere else with a similar climate. The categories include: "Trees", "Shrubs", "Flowers", and "Groundcovers, Vines and Grasses". Many photos! The category "Trees" alone has over 150 photos! Soils vary quite a bit here, so this includes a lot of plants! It even names the plants and trees you DO NOT want to plant and gives the reasons why. The book illustrates the proper way to plant and has fantastic recommendations on how to manage various problems with pests, "weeds", etc. Highly recommended!
