This book is for Florida native landscape dummies
This book helps you find out which plant community you probably have in your area, and then tells you how to redesign your landscape with that plant community in mind. It gives lists of plants for your particular plant community, too.

I can envision a second edition of this book with a map of Florida that shows where the different plant communities are, which nurseries in your area carry those native plants that are listed, and other features.

workbook format
Although well organized and helpful, I think it would have been better for me to consult some books that have more in depth info re the native plants. There are not as many pictures as I would have liked. Once one has a better understanding of the plants, this would be very good as a workbook for planning a native garden. It is good in describig the different habitats.
