This book is a worthwhile investment for homeowners/gardeners who want to tackle their own landscape with a decent education on what's involved. The book covers all the basics of starting with your landscape wish list...garden features, amending soil & some helpful plant recommendations. Although this book certainly couldn't be depended upon as an independent source for completing a home landscape from start to finish, it definitely touches on all the important phases, & helps the reader realize how much is involved. As a landscape designer, I recommend this book to those who have little or no background with gardening, plants & maintenance, yet have the aspiration to begin learning how to bring their property to a whole new level. The photos are good too & that can help spawn new ideas!

A little 70's looking but did have good explanations.
