### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautifully put together and researched
  

*by N***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 May 2016*

Although beautifully put together and impeccably researched, it was at times a bit frustrating, as it seems to be aimed almost entirely at alternatives to lawns in dry/mediterranean climates. It does have really good information about maintenance of the different ground covers, and it deals well with questions of invasive plants in the wider countryside. But while it sometimes does mention how effective the ground cover would be at excluding weeds, it doesn't always. And I would have liked more consistent information about how easy it is to control the spread of the different plants at a more local scale, i.e. into your nearby borders or unimproved, flower-rich pasture. Some spreading plants need only an occasional tug or trim to keep them in place, while others need serious spade work, if not actually excavating, and it can be better to be sure before planting.  Still, it is a wonderful book, full of often unfamiliar and exciting plants, and very worthwhile.

    Excellent photographs and in depth knowledge about the plants and ...
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 September 2016*

Excellent photographs and in depth knowledge about the plants and how to create gardens that use less water.  I wish there was one specifically for the UK but a lot of this information is or will be applicable as temperatures rise, particularly in cities and the south of England. The best combination, a beautiful book AND in depth information. I work as a garden designer and landscape architect and found it invaluable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    garden in an eco-sensitive way
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 October 2017*

Very useful book if you are trying to create a garden in the Mediterranean and don't want to worry about watering all the time. It suggests using plants that grow naturally in the area or in a similar climate and makes for a garden that is  eco-friendly. Ii particularly focuses on ground cover and alternatives to maintaining a lawn.
