5.0 out of 5 stars
Buy the hardback version., Jun 21 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Western Garden Book (Hardcover)
Buy the hardback version because this book will get your fingers walking frequently. The first book I reach for and often the only one I need. For me it is particularly helpful for desert plant selection and descriptions, but any western gardner will find a wealth of information. There are 24 sections on plant selection for specific needs and situations including shade, color, site, fragrance, native, season, foliage, compatibility, birds/butterflies, and others. Color plates accompany many of the selections along with growing requirments. Double index of gardening topics and common/scientific names. Excellent sketches of 6000 individual plants with similar family members. Much peripheral info such as how to read scientific names, pest problems/solutions, resourses, fine tuning of climatic zones. This is a fine reference book. An excellent source for new and experienced gardners.

If you only buy one gardening book, this is it., Sep 2 2000
By S. Paige Liu "Paige" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Western Garden Book (Hardcover)
Sunset's Western Garden Book can tell you everything you'll ever need to know about plants: distinctions for each variety, where to plant, how to prune, how thirsty each is. It's an invaluable, timeless classic. It's also readable, and interesting, with sections at the front of the book showing plant lists for various types of gardens: Shade, butterfly, etc. Read it and enjoy!

The Maps! The Maps!, Dec 16 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Western Garden Book (Hardcover)
We have lived in 6 different places in the West over the last 20 years. I wish I'd have had this book on the entire tour. The maps let you know which growing zone you are in and gives advice based on that very acurate assesment of the climate in those locations. Very sound advice and very simple instructions.
Listmania!
