5.0 out of 5 stars Abolutely essencial!, 18 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunset Western Garden Book (Hardcover)
As a garden adviser here in Portugal there is no other book that I would recomend for both the novice or addict for consise and precise advise on all aspects of gardening and landscaping. The most important feature is it's extremely easy to use climate guide dealing with both aspects of plant hardiness. Simply see what already grows in your area, compare this it's zone rating and you will see what else will grow and more importantly what is not worth trying and why. Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is it!, 12 Nov 2007
This review is from: Sunset Western Garden Book (Paperback)
This is it!

Most of the existing books on landscaping can be put into one of the three categories:

a. Coffee table books with pretty photos.
b. Encyclopedia of plants.
c. Horticulture books.

Only a few of the books on landscaping actually discuss design.

"Sunset Western Garden Book" is the best book for plant selection, a very important aspect of Planting Design. I have used it for many, many years. Every landscape architect that I know owns a copy of this book. Each new edition is getting better and better.

"Sunset Western Garden Book" is one of the best encyclopedia and is the "Bible" of Western Gardening. As the author of "Planting Design Illustrated," I would not hesitate to recommend this book to garden lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful gardening book in our library, 8 April 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunset Western Garden Book (Paperback)
I'm not sure we could get along without the Sunset Western Garden Book: it's the first book in our gardening library that we reach for, and the only one we need 80% of the time. We carry it with us as we shop plant nurseries, and have it along when perusing public gardens and arboretums. The heart of the book is the plant encyclopedia-a truly comprehensive listing including detailed planting and care instructions-which is coordinated with Sunset's 24 climate zones. These map even the microclimates a few miles across that exist in Western US coastal areas. I rather think the plant encyclopedia would be useful for gardeners anywhere, and especially for those who garden in a Mediterranean climate like that of coastal California.
