5.0 out of 5 stars A book written in and for my own backyard, July 15 2001

This review is from: 52 Weeks in the California Garden (Paperback)

The combination of this book plus Sunset's Western Garden Book will arm the southern California garden enthusiast with all the tools and experience necessary to give a green thumb's up. A true plant geek will find validation and a friend in Smaus' and will read the book saying "been there, loved that". Activities like hoarding plants bought from the Huntington Garden's May plant sale struck a familiar chord.

A transplant to Southern Cal. will quickly gain the inside track to where to go and what to plant to make the best of this unique climate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, Jun 4 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 52 Weeks in the California Garden (Paperback)

Coming from New England I needed a lot of advice on what to do with the clay soil and arid climate in Southern California. The Sunset Western Garden Book along with this selection is a great combination for those new to gardening in Southern California. (Try the soil amendment recipe, it worked wonders form me!)

Thank You Mr. Smaus ! Finally a book that talks directly to the Southern California gardener. If you live and garden in the So. CA area this is the book you need. Maybe I won't have so many failures in the coming year. This book opened my eyes wide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent.
If you live in Los Angeles, you need this book. Smaus is the garden writer for the excretal Los Angeles Times and one of its sole redeeming virtues. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect book for those who need to know what works when.
This is an invaluable guide for gardeners in So. California. Since we are in a very unique area there is much about gardening everywhere else that does not apply here. Read more
