Recent Book Review

Here's a lovely review, by ForeWord Reviews, posted March 18:

ENERGY-WISE LANDSCAPE DESIGN: A NEW APPROACH FOR YOUR HOME AND GARDEN by Sue Reed (New Society Publishers, 293 pages, softcover, $29.95, 978-0-86571-653-7): If you want to "go green," you have to do more than just plant a garden. Reed instructs both veteran and prospective landscapers on how to maximize the efficiency of their landscapes, as well as how to save time, money, and energy, while preserving the natural beauty of the environment. Topics range from capturing light, wind, and geothermal energy, to "Creating Healthy Working Ecosystems." The suggestions within this book are broken down with subheadings, diagrams, and photographs, making this comprehensive guide as efficient as the techniques it proposes.
