Review
Full of solid, practical advice and plenty of how-to pictures, Water-Wise Gardening is an ideal title for those looking to garden in dry climates. Focusing on appropriate plants for areas troubled by drought, you'll find direction for growing healthy plants and creating your own unique haven. Style options range from Mediterranean kitchen gardens to Southwestern blooming deserts and rockeries.
Designed to be a complete do-it-yourself guide, don't let the small format of this book fool you--it's absolutely jam-packed with ideas for all styles of gardens, and as always, publisher Dorling Kindersley manages to take fairly complicated projects and reduce them to a manageable size that even the home improvement novice can handle.
Practical considerations are dealt with firmly--no skipping such detail work like drawing up thorough plans or proper and regular mulching. The aim of this book is to get you professional-quality results, and if you follow directions carefully, you'll get the job done beautifully. The plant listings supply plenty of ideas for all dry climates. New gardeners, or experienced ones dealing with a new climate, will find plenty of useful tips. Inspirational ideas are plentiful--the garden photographs are lush and detailed, and provide all kinds of unusual notions for creating a truly unique gardening space. Whether you're looking to create a showcase of endangered cacti or simply conserve water without giving up lush greenery, you'll find options for all your projects that will set your plants off beautifully with striking combinations of textures and materials. --Jill Lightner
