My main complaints are referenced by many other reviewers. The first section of the book is dedicated to gardens all over the country that have hellstrip or other front yard gardens. In the text describing many of these gardens, it references how the homeowners used professional landscape design services or were landscape architects themselves -- that was offputting in a text that should be DIY. The pictures were very artistic but didn't give me a clear understand of the full picture of the garden or the full layout, which would have been helpful.
Throughout the book were buried in paragraphs lists of suggested plants for specific uses and sites. It would be nice to have those lists all together. Unless I was taking extensive notes and referencing pages, it would be very time consuming to find those lists again.
The plant profiles at the end were nice, but I also feel that such profiles can be found in other books and websites.
The book had the right idea and a good concept, but in the end just didn't execute that very well. ( )
