Not for native plant enthusiasts

"Low-Water-Use Plants" is a good book for someone interested in landscaping with drought-tolerant plants. Shuler provides excellent plant descriptions and details on garden uses. I would have gotten great use out of this book when I first became interested in low-water-use gardening after purchasing my first house in California. I have now become primarily interested in native plants, however, and Shuler's book only includes a few these. For budding native plant enthusiasts I would recommennd Marjore G. Schmidt's "Growing native California Plants" and Sally Wasowski's "Native Landscaping from El Paso to L.A."

A must-have for desert landscaping libraries!

I found out about this book from a class that I took at the Desert Botanical Gardens here in Phoenix. It is a great addition to Judy Mielke's book, Native Plants for Soutwestern Landscapes and Mary Rose Duffield's book, Plants for Dry Climates. Carol Shuler has some great charts toward the back of the book on trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and accent plants. I love the section on horticulture which covers some basic design principles. There are also lots of great pictures throughout and great explanations of many types of plants.
