Stormscaping

by Pamela Crawford

Pamela Crawford, best-selling Florida garden author and researcher, has a new book that will show you how to landscape to minimize wind damage, both to your garden and your home. She has researched and analyzed thousands of pages of data and spoken to hundreds of experts - Max Mayfield, the director of the National Hurricane Center, 37 different county extension directors, four botanical gardens, 12 researchers from University of Florida, and many emergency managers - and found answers that every property owner and lawmaker in Florida needs to know. The results of her research are astounding, and can make your experiences in the next hurricane go from catastrophic to a mere inconvenience.

This book is fantastic for choosing FL trees and shrubs with the best chance of surviving our next hurricane!

This book could save your life. I moved to Florida several years & had no clue as to what the dangers were from the trees on my property. In fact, had I known, I would not have purchased the house! I have had to replace my roof & lost much of my landscaping due to dangerous trees falling.

In addition to identifying the scary ones, she lists other trees to plant that will be safe & beautiful.

The information is detailed, thorough & clearly expressed.

A lot of the this information was taught in the classes at the Extension office in Bartow Florida in 1992.
