A must read! You'll be surprised at the versatility of these plants. July 9, 2008
This book is destined to be page-worn very soon. As a neophyte gardener of anything further than the basics, there are many ways to use plants that are new to me. I love the idea of utilizing non-cacti succulents for so many reasons: conserving water in our parched Central Texas land, conserving time because I won't be out there every day trying to save something from dying in the heat, and the exotic looks of the leaves and blooms that these plants can offer.
The author loves succulents, and gives beautiful ideas for which ones work well together, the habits of various species, and she even has gorgeous photos of some beautiful RED Aloe plants that are out there. I stayed up quite late last night reading this one, and it's one of the few gardening books that I want to read every word and not just look at the pictures. A wonderful book! I can't wait to put some of her suggestions into my garden.
inspirational and practical July 9, 2008
This book covers it all--the names, the arrangements, the instructions for propagating, the various tips, etc.
Stunning photos. Clear prose. The perfect guide to starting, or expanding, your succulent garden.
Great ideas and great info! July 3, 2008
Im slowly planning to transition a part of my front lawn/garden into a more drought ready succulent type. This book is PERFECT for those who'd like to do the same, or even completely. It is a good read and the pictures are great and inspiring.
Inspirational gardening with succulents June 17, 2008
If you need a boost to get out in the garden, flip through these pages and see if you don't get inspired!
This is a favorite or mine because it references and has pictures from a variety of sources so you can pursue the work of many creative people. Chock full of ideas, pictures and pertinent information, you will not regret this purchase.
 Nice comprehensive guide June 8, 2008
I liked this book a lot. It is very comprehensive and provides beautiful illustrations. Adding a full sourcing guide is the only thing that would have made this better.
