Native Texas Gardens: Maximum Beauty Minimum Upkeep

We sell this book to people who love gardens, and dedicated people who are trying to promote a sense of place in local landscaping. This book could be called, ""See we told you native gardens are gorgeous."" It also shows that landscaping with native plants is common sense gardening. It's working with Mother Nature, not against her. When you go native, you conserve water, eliminate the need for toxic chemicals, provide badly needed wildlife sanctuaries, and cut your upkeep from hours per week to hours per year. This book is also a tribute to the wonderful diversity that defines Texas. As you explore the more than 60 beautiful gardens profiled here, you'll understand what gardening for a ""sense of place"" is all about. And you'll wonder why so many of us settle for the ""typical American landscape,"" which is a virtual clone of every other landscape across the U.S.
