### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good introduction to arid climate gardening
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014*

Review - "Xeriscape Handbook" by Gale WeinsteinGayle Weinstein has written a complete guide to gardening in a dry climate, specifically the Denver Area, although the principles will apply in any arid climate.  She takes off with understanding the climate climate, the microclimate and your own piece of ground.  Then Gayle leads us through evaluating your site, drawing up what is present before moving on to attempting to plan your landscaping on your site.There is an excellent chapter on soil which incorporates all the recent soil research, making it accessible for the lay user of this book.  Gayle follows this with a chapter on "Compost, Mulch and Fertilizer" which is one of the more complete reviews of the topic I have ever seen.The the details of planting the plants, everything from small annuals to huge trees are laid out.  Plant health and maintenance is well outlined.Finally there is an entire chapter on "applying water" to your landscape.The book is well written, reads well and has good pictures and diagrams emphasizing the clarifying the points made.The book seems to be written as part of a trilogy,  this book, "Xeriscape Plant Guide" and "Xeriscape Color Guide."  This book does not provide much in the way of  individual plant information, but that is found in the "Xeriscape Plant Guide."  All three books are from Fulcrum Publishing, in Golden, Colorado.  And while the copy of the Color Guide is not yet here, I suspect that would greatly augment the plant selection process.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent compact primer
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2013*

compact, yet thorough primer on gardening and garden design.  Would have liked  a few more lists of drought-tolerant plants and accompanying pictures would have been fabulous, but would have made a much bulkier (and more expensive) book.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    More of less.
  

*by "***" on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2012*

This book continues the theme of shallowness set for me by theXericape color guide. It will helpto keep the coffee table from being empty as house guests might want to quickly leaf through them to look at illustrations of plants that actual photographs would have helped a reader see how a xeriscape might come to be in their own endevour for a xeriscape displayed  in their own yard..
