So many good landscape ideas for the Midwest home gardener. Lots of familiar plants that are hardy to our zone. Some designs are a little boxy for my taste (think big square clumps of a single plant), but there’s enough variety of design and plant combos to keep me interested and feeling inspired. This is a fantastic resource that I’ll be referencing again and again.

So practical and helpful! Partner this with Edible Landscaping by Rosalind Creasy, and you got yourself a knock out garden with curb appeal!

This was one of my most wonderful Costco purchases ever. Great designs, good pictures, good plant information, just a generally great all-around landscaping reference book (at least for me).

Another great reference for midwest gardens and landscaping projects. Will be referring back to this one often as we overhaul our backyard.

Definitely on a roll with the gardening and landscaping books. The chief value of this book was landscaping solutions for difficult areas.
