"Sally Wasowski and Andy Wasowski The Wasowski's were one of the first to publish on the benefits, and show us the aesthetics, of using native plants. Their book, divided into 10 regions (with the Post Oaks being subdivided into three areas), pictures 399 native plants. Each plant is described in terms useful to gardeners and landscapers. This line, in the Blackfoot daisy description says it all, ""Both seem to be short-lived in well-watered gardens."" There are 21 landscaping design plans to inspire you, and charts and text to help you find the best plan for your location. With this book, and Noke's How to Grow Native Plants, you are set in Texas. Supplement them with any Howard Garrett book and you'll fly. Former Houston Audubon President Jeff Mundy says: ""These two books (Native Texas Gardens and Native Texas Plants) books defined this field and proved to be ground-breaking in their new look at bringing “nature” into the residential yard and garden. Interesting for anyone with at least a minimal interest in gardening.""
Paperback, 8.5 x 11, 408 pages, loaded with color pictures and diagrams."
