Home Landscaping: Midwest Region, Including Southern Canada (Home Landscaping)

Review
"The renderings and graphics are first-rate and the details about installation of garden carpentry and masonry are clear and practical. A finished project out of this book would closely resemble the work of the best commercial-nursery designers."
Don Ladig, Fodder: News from the Hungry Mind Bookstore
May 1999
