Summary: plant an attractive garden with native plants
Comment: I wasn't going to plant a native plant garden until I read this book. It's extremely well-organized and the authors infuse you with their excitement about the plants. The "personal comments" section is the best. Even though the plant might not be high on your list, the comments section may give some information that may make you desire it. They also have landscape designs that you can implement yourself. If you're interested in creating a butterfly or bird garden, this book lists what types of animals are attracted to the plant. They have the book parsed out into deciduous trees, deciduous shrubs, grasses, bog plants, etc. Each plant has several sections telling the shade, moisture, height, wildlife, fall colors, flower, fruit, and anything else you could possibly want to know about the plant. It's better than any of the other garden books that I have read, including ones from national gardens, etc.

Summary: Excellent for North Florida
Comment: I live in the forgotten land of North Florida (more like South Georgia - but more humid and rainy!) This book has become one of my favorite books because it clearly indicates just how far south native plants will thrive. So many books only indicate the upper limit on climate zones. The pictures are wonderful and the organization makes it an especially useful and handy reference.

Summary: BUY THIS BOOK!
Comment: If you live in the Southeast and want to know more about gardening with native plants, this is THE place to start. I've poured over this book time after time, and now I have to buy a second copy because a friend kept my first copy after borrowing it! This book has great info and pictures, AND it's fun to read. What more could you ask for? (Well, how about Volume 2? ;-) )
