Well written, excellent overview of the culture and appearance of plants, useful not only for the San Francisco Bay Region, but also for parts of the Southern California area.

This is the best book I've seen for learning about plants that do well in the San Francisco Bay area. Beautiful pictures of the individual plants as well as in a landscaped setting.

This book is amazing. Great location specific plant information, high quality gorgeous photos but most fascinating - it was produced by East Bay Municipal Utility District, our local water agency. BRILLIANT. This is a great example of a public agency thinking creatively about water conservation.

Niles District residents  Jill Singleton and Kris Sandoe researched and authored many of the plant descriptions in this beautiful plant book produced to encourage water wise gardening by the Water Conservation Department at EBMUD.

If you are looking for a plant book that will help you with your Fremont or East Bay Garden, this one should be on your coffee table and you should have a second copy for your potting shed!

Nelson Kirk, local Big-Tree-Guy extraordinare and long time landsacpe professional for Fremont and Union City municipalities confirmed Jill and Kris' research regarding localization in the East Bay for many of the plants described here. Looking for a little water-wise inspriation? You've come to the right place!

Excellent resource for gardeners in Mediterranean climates. Color photos of plants, and lists of plants suitable for specific areas such as "plants for dryish shade."
