Product Description

Covering Texas and beyond, Plants of the Metroplex is the only Texas book available giving practical landscape advice from a landscape architect's point of view. Howard Garrett uses his years of experience as a gardener, landscape contractor, maintenance contractor, and landscape architect to give you clear-cut, money-saving advice on the proper selection, installation, and maintenance of landscape plant material for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond. Garrett also explains his organic approach, "The Natural Way," which gives gardeners greater success with lower costs and without the risks of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. All of this information has been revised and updated from Garrett's popular Plants of the Metroplex III.

J. Howard Garrett has converted several commercial projects to organic programs. They include Frito-Lay National Headquarters in Plano, Johnson and Johnson Medical in Arlington, and Collin County Community College in Plano.

Brian Herring (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plants of the Metroplex: Newly Revised (Paperback)

I bought this along with Neil Sperry's Texas Gardenining. This is a simple book with excellent pictures for planting in the DFW area. I wouldn't recommend this book as guide/reference, but it is a very nice accessory for deciding what to plant.

By A Customer

This review is from: Plants of the Metroplex: Newly Revised (Paperback)

A must book for residents of the Dallas area. Has a good outline style with the high points on plants for Dallas. For a very detailed look this reference may come up short.

Donna Rizos - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plants of the Metroplex: Newly Revised (Paperback)

This will be the third time that I have purchased this book! I have loaned it out, and it never comes back. Probably the best resource book on gardening that I own. I love how Mr. Garrett recommends which plants to use.
