SynopsisAs surely as gardens change with the seasons, gardening is ever changing. New plants, techniques, materials, and lifestyles are constantly broadening the choices you have and reshaping the way you garden in the West. In response to this natural evolution, the editors of Sunset-the West's most trusted source of gardening information for more than 80 years-have completely redesigned and updated The Western Garden Book in this new 2012 Ninth Edition. Following the best-selling success of the previous editions of The Western Garden Book , this edition includes a fresh new look, thousands of color photographs, fresh illustrations, and an easy-to-follow format. Written by experts for gardeners in the West, this book is an indispensable reference for beginning and expert gardeners alike. The New Western Garden Book features include: A photo gallery shows the West's most innovative gardens, from all-edibles front yards to stylish water-wise and fire-wise gardens to living walls and green roofs-all with ideas you can use. Climate Zone Maps and growing-season graphs for all regions of the West including Alaska and Hawaii. A new "Plant Finder" section helps you choose plants for their garden's problem areas or for special effects. "A to Z Plant Encyclopedia" lists some 8,000 plants that thrive in the West, including more than 500 new ones. Gorgeous color photographs illustrate all plant entries-for the first time ever in The Western Garden Book. "Gardening From Start to Finish" is a new visual guide that leads readers through all steps of making a garden, from soil prep through planting, growing and care, with special sections on natives, veggies, grasses and more., As surely as gardens change with the seasons, gardening is ever changing.

A must have for the serious gardener
The Sunset New Western Garden Book is wonderful source of information for home gardeners and for Master Gardeners who find it useful as a reference book. The wide variety of plants surveyed in this book is helpful to Gardeners in California, Hawaii and all warm climates. The color photo galleries are a tremendous help with plant identification. The book covers the range of environments that gardeners encounter, from rainforests to deserts.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Labeled NEW, looks very USED.
I ordered this book as a birthday gift for my mom and was expecting it to look NEW since the description says it’s NEW. Well, it arrived in the mail today and it looks like horrible. I don’t even want to give it to my mom considering the way it looks. Pretty bummed on this purchase. Wish I would’ve bought it somewhere else.

Must have book for anyone who gardens in the West
Beautiful and very informative book about plants. It has great descriptions, real pictures (my last Sunset book had sketches), and lots of information about good bugs, bad bugs, and critters that can be a problem. This is my 3rd Sunset over the years, but probably won't be my last.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The New Sunset Western Garden Book
It is so much better than and older version I had. All the plants are shown in color. More useful information is given and it is directly above the listing. Any particular needs one might have for such as drought tolerant plants are shown, again with colored pictures, in articles on a category. The book is beautifully illustrated and of such interest, it makes for good reading besides being ever so useful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best garden book for people in the West of the USA
The book makes it easy to find plants you have questions about. There are a lot of pictures, but most valuable are tips on where you can grow the plants.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
