The California landscape garden

the long version

"The beauty resources and natural process of the California landscape are brought into the home garden in Mark Francis and Andreas Reimann's fine testament to ecological gardening. The authors connect history, culture, region, and design to help us understand the evolution and cultivation of California and the way in which individuals today can make a difference in the state's future. In doing so, they bring the history of the California garden up to date with contemporary environmental and cultural concerns." "This is a book for anyone seeking a garden philosophy that is environmentally sensitive and even experienced gardeners will find new and inspiring material here."--BOOK JACKET.
