Summary: Excellent Resource for Nevada Gardeners
Review: I devoured this book. I'll soon be gardening in the upper desert (cold desert)of Northern Nevada. Gardening books for that particular region have been hard to come by. This book covers all regions of Nevada. It is short on photographs, but it is well-organized and simple to follow. I'm so glad I found this gardener's bible.

Summary: Excellent Book for Nevada, Arizona Gardeners
Review: I just finished reading this book and found it to be an excellent source for desert gardeners. The authors are long time desert gardeners themselves and it shows. The book is easy to use, easy to understand, well-written, and quite comprehensive. A great deal of plant material is covered here.
The sections on growing lawns under hot, desert type conditions are especially good, and are obviously the result of many years of hands-on, practical experience.
Much gardening reading material is not of much use for people living in areas like Las Vegas, Nevada, but this material certainly is.
If I had but one gripe about the book, it is that it does not cover allergies caused by landscape plants very well. But then, not many gardening books do.

Summary: Gardener's Delight
Review: This is one of the most comprehensive books that covers all the geographical areas of Nevada. It has a wonderful cross section of plants suitable for the cold climates as well as the desert of Southern Nevada. The authors are both respected professionals in this field, and you can trust what they say. Unlike other volumes that have more pictures than text, this one gives information that is usable. This would be the best gifts you could give to someone that wants to enjoy getting thier hands dirty and their yards beautiful.
