coffee table book, not functional

I Really Love this book!

The Perfect Book for Any Californian Who Wants to Save the Environment in Their Own Backyard
This book is excellent, with many good photographic examples of complete native landscape. It also set for an excellent philosophy for landscape design for the both the use of native and non-native plants. However it really shouldn't be thought of as a complete source for native gardening. I would also suggest that you pick up 'California Native Plants for the Garden' by Carol Bornstein, David ...
