When this book first came out in 1988, it was an instant best-seller.  Now in an updated and expanded 2nd edition, this ground breaking approach to gardening books divides Texas into ten distinct vegetational zones, profiles the most landscape-worthy native plants in these regions, and then shows how to utilize them in home and commercial landscapes. No wonder countless thousands of Texas homeowners have called this book their “gardening bible!”
