Designing with Succulents

by Debra Lee Baldwin

Designing with Succulents Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Succulent plants offer dazzling possibilities for garden design and require only minimal maintenance to remain lush and alluring year round. Featuring the work of more than 50 professional garden designers and creative homeowners, this complete design compendium is as practical as it is inspirational. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 photographs, it gives design and cultivation basics for paths, borders, slopes, and containers; hundreds of succulent plant recommendations; and descriptions of 90 easy-care, drought-tolerant companion plants. Beginners and experienced designers, landscapers, and collectors alike will find what they need to visualize, create, and nurture the three-dimensional work of art that is the succulent garden.

Review:

"One of the charms of her book is that it is so readable, while being a practical encyclopedia of all things succulent." Mary Curran-Downey, San Diego Union-Tribune

Review:

"Debra Lee Baldwin is passionate about succulents, grows them with panache in her own garden, and has tapped into a community of like-minded souls who are creating wonderful landscapes with them. She inspires us to look at succulents as living sculptures whose myriad shapes and colors create striking effects. Many people know about succulents, but using them well in the landscape is another matter. Designing with Succulentsshows us how; it's inspiring, practical, and complete—a treasure for any gardener who loves these otherwordly beauties." Kathleen N. Brenzel, Sunset Magazine

Review:

"This is the best book ever published on the subject of succulents." Pat Welsh, author of Pat Welsh's Guide to Southern California Gardening
