Her newest book, Beautiful No-Mow Yards: 50 Amazing Lawn Alternatives (Timber Press, Feb 2012) offers the ultimate guide to shrinking your lawn, with inspiring photos showcasing lawnless gardens in a variety of sizes and styles. Her garden memoir Apprentice to a Garden chronicles the joys, challenges, and life lessons of transforming her urban yard into a naturalistic landscape. The photo-rich Shrink Your Lawn: Design ideas for any landscape presents many ideas and illustrations from her talks and won a silver medal from Independent Publisher's 2009 Living Now Book Awards.
