This book is pornography for anyone with interest in succulents like sedum, chicks & hens, rock plants, cacti, yucca, etc. There is general growing advice, including types of soil, varieties of plants for various climates, watering strategies, and container gardening, which was not terribly in-depth but good enough.

Living in Arizona, my skew on the word "hardy" is plants that would survive in 100+ temps. This book was centered on cold weather hardy succulents. So it wasn't that useful to me, but I did learn about a few plants I'd never heard of before.

I love that this author has lived in Wisconsin, so, many parts of the book applies to my garden. I liked the photography, beautiful and inspirational. I bought the hard copy for my home library after reading the kindle version. Great resource - lots of information!
The pictures are nearly all labeled with plant information, and the pictures themselves are just gorgeous throughout! That should be a requirement of all garden books in my opinion - and this one delivers if you have any interest in succulents at all.
A beautiful book, I just wish it had more information. Specifically, a section on diagnosing disease/problems would have been great.
Wish this book had more information on how to cactus. Especially the ones I am interested in growing.
a little bit hard to follow ... lots of great pictures though. I think I need an idiots guide to succulents instead perhaps.
