Book Reviews of Sunset Western Garden Book

Book Review: This is it!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is it!

Most of the existing books on landscaping can be put into one of the three categories:

a. Coffee table books with pretty photos.
b. Encyclopedia of plants.
c. Horticulture books.

Only a few of the books on landscaping actually discuss design.

"Sunset Western Garden Book" is the best book for plant selection, a very important aspect of Planting Design. I have used it for many, many years. Every landscape architect that I know owns a copy of this book. Each new edition is getting better and better.

"Sunset Western Garden Book" is one of the best encyclopedia and is the "Bible" of Western Gardening. As the author of "Planting Design Illustrated," I would not hesitate to recommend this book to garden lovers.
