It includes distilled information on every gardening subject. It covers: What is Xeriscape, Planning and Design, Soil Analysis, Plant Selection, Turf Areas, Maintenance, Efficient Irrigation, Texas Wildscapes, and a long list of reference publications. This Revised Edition includes a much needed index. Illustrations are very limited.
