"Enough information and detail for professional landscapers and native ecosystem restorers, but it's an easy-enough read for the more casual gardener as well. Just the information a gardener needs to make good decisions in choosing plants: not every native is a good choice for your garden."
--The Florida Native Plant Society

"An elegantly written and intelligently formatted guide replete with historical glimpses of native plant gardening, helpful lists and references and excellent profiles."
--Ledger (Lakeland, FL)

"A straightforward and engaging writer, Nelson traces his interest in gardening back t hours spent in his grandmother's yard. Aiming his book at gardeners, homeowners, and landscape/nursery professionals, Nelson insists that gardeners interested in native plants that are readily available, dependable, and easy to care for can choose many creative approaches to using them." "Nelson's enthusiasm for his subject and his ability to provide technical information in a clear, understandable way make this book must purchase for public and academic libraries in the Southeast and large libraries elsewhere."
--American Reference Books Annual, vol.42

"A highly-useful guide by a well-known authority in the field."
