Excellent! My favorite gardening book.

I have purchased many landscape design books and found that none of their canned plans would work for my yard or taste. Then I found this one and was off and running! Although I was looking for a book that would tell me exactly what and where to plant, this author taught me a few design principles involving height, placement and neutral areas as backdrops that work with the plants I like. His plant profiles and recommendations were invaluable. I would buy it even if I didn't live in Southern California. Why is it out of print?? Find a copy!
