"...when you've had a taste of California native plants and want more, you'll want the new book by Glenn Keator and Alrie Middlebrook. We should note that we usually don't bother reviewing a book unless it's one worth having. "Designing California Native Gardens" is one more of the University of California Press' recent string of hits."
