Title: Well written, beautifully illustrated
Product review: If you love to garden, but are nowhere near a coast, this is the book for you. Lauren Springer gardens in Colorado and understands the harsh mid-continental climate and its challanges to gardeners trying to create beautiful, yet durable landscapes. The book is divided into sections addressing both plant types (e.g. annuals, perennials, roses, etc.) and site conditions (e.g. hot & dry, shady). Numerous color photographs are throughout the book and a section in the back highlights a goodly number of what she considers excellent plants for harsh climate gardens. The only drawback to this book is that she recommends many plants which are difficult to locate commercially. It speaks well of her writing abilities that this reader, at least, has gone to great lengths to locate several of her recommendations, as I could not face another summer without them
