Filled with clear descriptions and guidelines, this practical guide contains 11 chapters encapsulating current thinking and approaches to sustainable gardening. The key issue of water use is
addressed in chapters that describe eliminating lawns and creating no-mow natural meadows; planting with drought-tolerant native, or mostly native landscapes; and creating roof gardens. A
chapter is included on edible sustainable gardens. Detailed information is provided in each chapter for assessing a garden site, including measuring water use. Many case studies are cited
throughout. Practical, clearly organized, and well-illustrated, this will be a great resource for gardeners of all levels of expertise. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
