The book presents information in the same sequence as a gardener would need it, starting with Site Assessment and progressing through Landscape Design, Plant Selection, Plant Maintenance, and Integrated Pest Management. Six earth-friendly themes are covered throughout the chapters, including: Energy Conservation; Water Conservation; Green Waste Reduction; Water Quality Preservation; Wildlife Habitat; and Edible Landscaping. If interested in one aspect of earth-friendly gardening, such as creating a wildlife habitat, checklists in the Appendix guide gardeners through the possibilities.
