Detailed instructions, organized by climate types.

This book includes several chapters which cover basic principles and then applies those principles in detail to four prototype climates. It is easily understood, but also includes sun angle calculations and shading diagrams for those who want to work out exact planting locations and plant forms. The last section of the book deals with drought tolerant and sustainable planting. It is readable, useful and well illustrated.

for the eco-minded landscaper

Ever notice how some spots in the woods are warmer or colder than others. This book shows you how you can modify one's own microclimate (to make your property more comfortable). It is organized by region, with appropriate strategies and recommended planting. It is also the most comprehensive guide to environmental landscaping (using native plants, composting, natural lawn care, xeriscaping [low water-use] etc.). I've recommended it to many of my friends and given copies as gifts.
