California Native Plants for the Garden
Here’s a book we can all use. The title is a bit misleading—this is an authoritative reference not only to plants, but to landscape design and maintenance, including, watering, pruning, and pest control.
Filled with wonderful color photographs of individual plants, it’s a resource for neophytes and experts alike. The authors provide crucial details on plant siting, color, seasonal appearance and a lot more. If you’ve been considering forsaking the English country garden for one that’s more authentic to our region (and one that’s more ecologically sound), this book could just tip the scales. It’s a volume you’ll return to again and again.
