Summary: Native Florida Plants: Low Maintenance Landscaping and Garde
Review: As a fairly new resident of Florida I look forward to Robert Haehle's NGA email each month, with his great advise & tips. This book is a "must have" for anyone new to tropical gardening, as well as, the Southern natives. The information & beautiful photos are especially helpful in identifying what is in my yard & what I would like to add.

Summary: Good information and photos
Review: For a general introduction to landscaping with native plants in Florida, this is a good book. It includes some introductory chapters with landscape plans for various types of gardens, such as water gardens and wildlife gardens. The main part of the book has a page on each native plant grouped in chapters on palms, shrubs, small trees, large trees, vines, wildflowers, and water plants.The book includes plants for all of Florida, which means there are a quite a few temperate zone plants that grow in the north and central part of the state and not in zone 10 (farthest south), but there are also plenty that grow throughout the state or only in the south. Overall, good photography, plant descriptions and advice make this a good general book for Florida landscaping.

Summary: Native Florida Plants
Review: I am the co-author of "Native Florida Plants". The new revised edition was printed in early 2004. The new book is not listed on www.amazon.com I think the problem may be the different ISBN number. The new ISBN number is 1-58979-051-0. The book is available from National Books Network at 1-800-462-6420. We hope to see our book on www.amazon.com very soon. This is a great site to get new and used books. I am a customer.

Summary: very informative. Great field guide.Beautiful photography
Review: I really enjoy this book. I feel like an expert on Florida native plant species, just after reading the first 50 pages. The photos make plant identification extremely easy. I highly recommend this book to anyone that realizes the importance of restoring Florida back to its natural state. The photography in this book makes the reader aware of how beautiful the native species are. I was not aware how many plants native to this area have suffered because of overdevelopment and infringement. This book makes me realize how imperative it is to incorporate native plants to not only personal landscaping, but the Florida environment as a whole. Conservationists will appreciate this book as a tool for preserving Florida back to its natural state, and home owners will have the perfect guide for native landscaping.

Summary: Find the native Florida plant you need!
Review: This is a great reference book for anyone living in Florida, who wants to identify and learn about native Florida plants. The book includes a photo of each plant with the common and botanical names. It provides zone numbers and descriptions of each plant's average height & light requirements. Also, bloom information, fruit, leaves, trunk, habitat, propagation and appearance descriptions. Chapters are divided by basic plant type - large trees, small trees, palm trees, wildflowers, etc.
