Gardening With Native Plants of the South by Sally Wasowski, Andy Wasowski 
A Reader from Alabama 09/13/97, rating=9:  An excellent and much needed book for the South.  There is not much written on gardening with native plants for the South so this title caught my eye.  I was very pleased with the content.  The authors seem to know their plants and have done admirable research.  The photographs are very good and each plant discussed is illustrated.  This would be a worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in gardening in the South with native plants. 

from dillnet@intellinet.com 02/04/96, rating=9: This book is a beautiful and useful work.  The real strength of this book is the knowledge of the authors.  They write from personal experience, a technique not always employed by garden writers!  I appreciated the enthusiasm of the authors, their obvious commitment to the larger issues of gardening with native plants.  For someone like me who lives on the fringe of the South, it is nice to find that the authors really do try to cover the South...and not just their neighborhood.  I liked this book enough that I wrote a review of it for our local newspaper...to be published later this month. 
Diana's personal recommendation if you live and garden in the South.

Garden Retreats: Creating an Outdoor Sanctuary
by Barbara Blossom Ashmun, Allan Mandell (Photographer)
Each garden pictured is as individual as the person who made it, yet there are common elements throughout the variety of gardens. These are gardens of the senses, emotion and spirit, offering a timeless quality that invites repose. Privacy and seclusion, intimacy and comfort are achieved in diverse ways, including fencing, lush plantings, art, and seating. A profusion of perennials encloses a Victorian-style arbor covered with roses, a moon-viewing pavilion rests along the shore of a smooth pond, a swing dangles temptingly from the branches of a spreading pin oak. These are gardens that invite you to sit, linger, dangle your hand in the water, quite literally to sniff the roses. You can well imagine how it feels to climb the stairs to the hut-on-stilts, draped in gauzy fabric and nestled into a natural woodland. Just reading the book lowers the blood pressure, stirs the senses, makes the trowel hand twitch.
