Book Reviews of Designing with Succulents
Book Review: A must read! You'll be surprised at the versatility of these plants.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is destined to be page-worn very soon. As a neophyte gardener of anything further than the basics, there are many ways to use plants that are new to me. I love the idea of utilizing non-cacti succulents for so many reasons: conserving water in our parched Central Texas land, conserving time because I won't be out there every day trying to save something from dying in the heat, and the exotic looks of the leaves and blooms that these plants can offer.
The author loves succulents, and gives beautiful ideas for which ones work well together, the habits of various species, and she even has gorgeous photos of some beautiful RED Aloe plants that are out there. I stayed up quite late last night reading this one, and it's one of the few gardening books that I want to read every word and not just look at the pictures. A wonderful book! I can't wait to put some of her suggestions into my garden.
