Gardening With Prairie Plants Reviews

"This book will be an anchor for prairie enthusiasts for years to come."Floyd Swink, Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois

"Excellently produced, Gardening with Prairie Plants is an admirable work. It will be cherished by anyone devoted to native flora, but it will appeal equally to those who have as yet made only a modest foray into native-plant landscaping. Not only extraordinarily useful, it is also exceptionally beautifula lavishly designed book for enthusiast and dreamer alike."Native Plant Society of Texas

"Though the word prairie evokes images of vast, windswept plains, Sally Wasowski skillfully demonstrates that no yard is too small for a patch of native wildflowers. This lavish book takes us on a tour of native prairies and prairie gardens to show how easy it is to plant and maintain your own beautiful prairie garden."C. Colston Burrell, award-winning author of A Gardeners Encyclopedia of Wildflowers and Perennial Combinations
