Industry Reviews

"Steiner provides deeply informed plant profiles with instruction on each species' value to wildlife and how each one can be used and maintained in a garden. Most welcome in these profiles is an especially valuable section evaluating available varieties and cultivars." - Texas Gardenera s SEEDS

"One of the particularly helpful sections is an extremely thorough list of invasive species and specific suggestions for alternatives to each of the problem species. Instead of just saying don't plant this, specific solutions are provided depending on the situation."

- The Oregonian
