Book Review: useful client gift
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a Landscape Architect practicing in the Berkshire Region of Western Massachusetts. This particular Michael Dirr book is used almost daily in our design office. It is an excellent guide for seeing pictures and accurate descriptions of woody plant materials suitable for our region.

We also give this book as a gift to some of our clients who have an interest in the trees and shrubs that we plant on their property.
