Shade and color with water-conserving plants

Persistent drought conditions in many areas have focused attention on the need for less wasteful landscaping practices. Too often, however, people think of water-efficient landscapes as being boring and unattractive. In this book, co-authors Jim Walters and Balbir Backhaus present more than 300 arid-adapted plants that will bring dramatic color, beauty, and cooling shade to low-maintenance, water-thrifty landscapes --- putting an end to the myth that beautiful gardens require a lot of water and work.Published at $39.95 Our last copies available at $19.98
