For a book on Northeast Home Landscaping, it features very few native plants. Several of the plants featured are even considered invasive in the Northeast.
I do like the landscaping ideas and the how-to section, but I am really disappointed in the plant suggestions. If you are going to promote invasive and non-native plants, at least provide native alternatives.

This book was very helpful in shaping my thinking around landscaping our yard. I liked the focus on design for hardy perennials.

Nice landscaping plans. Also good descriptions of the plants in the plans they include in the book. Also info on installation of walkways and patios.
