<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><i>The Drought-Defying California Garden</i> offers gardeners in the Golden State everything they need to get started on a new type of garden using the minimum amount of water.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A must-have for every gardener in California looking for a new way to garden in a changing climate</b> <p/> In recent years California has been facing extreme drought, and in 2015 they passed state-wide water restrictions that affect home owners. Unfortunately the drought is only going to get worse, and gardeners who aren't willing to abandon their beloved pastime entirely are going to have to learn how to garden with the absolute minimum of water. <i>The Drought-Defying California Garden</i> highlights the best 230 plants to grow, shares advice on how to get them established, and offers tips on how to maintain them with the minimum amount of water. All of the plants are native to California--making them uniquely adept at managing the harsh climate--and include perennials, annuals, shrubs, trees, and succulents.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Grow a stunning garden with less water! <p/> Home landscapes that require copious amounts of water simply aren't an option anymore. But that doesn't mean you have to settle for barren expanses of rock mulch or artificial turf. California native plants can create a lush, wildlife-friendly landscape that requires minimal irrigation once it's established. Learn which plants will work best in your yard, how to get them established, and how to keep them looking great all year long.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A must-have for any California gardener who wants a little color and interest in the landscape." --<i><b>Garden Design Online</b></i> <p/> "Detailed plant descriptions are paired with honed advice for planting and care in garden settings." --<i><b>San Diego Home and Garden</b></i> <p/> "There are a lot of practical and ecological reasons to turn your landscape into a way station and home for bees.
