From BooklistnThe aim of this guide is not so much to provide practical advice as to introduce the principles of gardening in harmony with nature. Profusely illustrated with photographs, charts, drawings, and watercolors, the book outlines important considerations when planning a new garden. The goal is to design a habitat that will be appealing to birds, butterflies, and a wide range of fauna. Six separate regions of the country are identified in "The Backyard Habitat" section, which makes up the greater part of the text. Nearly 150 native plants are recommended, with more than 40 specific species noted for each region. The handsome format and ecology-conscious commentary make this a fine selection for gardening collections. Alice Joyce

All this knowledge is put to use on some of the most practical, beautiful, and luxurious projects ever-all presented with vivid illustrations and detailed instructions. Any home can get an uplift from the tiled patio and retaining wall, pergola, courtyard with stone planters, waterfall, or outdoor kitchen. And who wouldn't love having their own putting green and hot tub right in their own backyard? Throughout the book, dozens of photos capture the amazing difference between "before" and "after"-a difference that anyone can make when they do it themselves.
