This has been a go-to reference for years. So many topics for landscaping, hardscaping, design, installations, plants....you name it. Even though my landscape isn't southern, I borrow these ideas and adapt with plants that fit for my climate.
This is the ultimate guide to gardening for all types of land, weather, lot size, etc. much more informative and helpful than your local Big box retailer home improvement store employee.
My only complaint is the water color paintings are difficult to decipher which plant flower or shrub is shown.
