Re: Landscaping Books


The best reference book for me is the American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants with over 6000 full color photos and descriptions of over 15,000 plants.  You have to be strong just to lift the book.  Possibly 10 or 15 pounds!   Price is $80.

Hello Lynn,
    You had the title correct. Natural Landscaping. Gardening with Nature to Create a Backyard Paradise. Rodale  was the publisher. One of my favorites I also like Wildflowers in your Garden: A Gardener's Guide by Viki Ferreniea.Finally, I keep a copy of A Gardener's Encyclopedia of Wild Flowers by Colston Burrell. Those titles remain on the shelf were they are handy for they best reflect what I am up to in my gardens and the nursery inventory.
    One goes through quite a few books to end up with the "keepers" on the shelf within arm's reach.

One of my favorite's is Sally Roth's Natural Landscaping (?) I think there's more to the title, but I've loaned it to a friend, so I'm not sure.  It was one of the first I read that encouraged creating a more natural (read "wild" ) landscape, with an emphasis on gardening for wildlife.
Her more recent bird and butterfly books are fabulous, too, but not really landscape, as such.
