Reviews

"Gardeners worrying about water will also appreciate THE GARDENER’S GUIDE TO CACTUS (Timber Press, $24.95, available in early January), by Scott Calhoun, whose subtitle says it all: “The 100 Best Paddles, Barrels, Columns and Globes.” It offers a clear, helpful, well-presented text — trust me, this is an art form all too often neglected in garden books — along with reliable design suggestions."
