Imagine a beautiful, highly productive, virtually weed-free, drought-resistant, inexpensive, low-maintenance and ecologically sound garden bed in your yard.

From installation through customizing maintenance techniques for individual species this book does it all....and well.             ORCHID FEVER76 reviews ERIC HANSEN METHUEN PUBLISHING LTD, 2000 I'd love an update! I read this with jaw agape most of the time. The main reason for this embarrassing state of affairs was the CITES ridiculousness that crops up again and again. Can people in positions of power REALLY be so stupid? Well, yep, they can, sadly enough for the thousands of plants that are destroyed in the name of "development," illegal to save by conservationists. But the people Hansen meets are ...             Rainforest39 reviews Ben Morgan DK ADULT, 2006 Breathtaking Even people who aren't as avid about nature as I am have found this book to be simply spectacular.

The large, professionally printed photographs will take your breath away, and the captions and stories are just as entertaining. This book is organized neatly ...             Smith & Hawken: 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden32 reviews Carolyn J. Male Workman Publishing Company, 1999 Will inspire you to grow tomatoes I received this book as a gift, after my small 4-plant tomato plot fared disastrously last summer. 1 of the 4 plants produced decent tomatoes, while the rest died unceremoniously. This year, following the recommendations in this book, my 4 plants are all doing great, and I already have little tomatoes-to-be on 3 of the 4. For that reason alone I would recommend this book. I wish some of the ...             Cat Gallery Calendar 2007 (Page-A-Day Gallery Calendars)34 reviews Workman Publishing Company Workman Publishing Company, 2006 Meeooowwzaaa! Good enough to frame!

It captured the African wildlife that I have had the privilege of seeing first hand on two occasions.             Shelter Dogs39 reviews Traer Scott Merrell, 2006 Be prepared to cry... This book gives us details on shelter dogs, who the author Traer Scott, has met in her travels. So touching, uplifting and heartbreaking, especially when we learn so much about them and are told at the end which dogs lived and were adopted...and which ones were not (sniffle)...If this book doesn't convince you to adopt from an animal shelter, then I don't know what will! A portion of the proceeds ...             Designing with Succulents34 reviews Debra Lee Baldwin Timber Press, Incorporated, 2007 Wonderful resource for the Northwest gardner as well I initially purchased "Designing with Succulents" because it has a chapter on "Growing Succulents in Colder Climates". I live on the coast in the Pacific NW and as we hardscaped the yard I was determined that I was going to plant drought tolerant succulents that were hardy enough for our climate, could survive frosts and occasional snow, as well as the salt spray and wind.
