more timely. Many books recommend succulents for water-wise
landscaping. But Gabriel Frank, with a designer's eye for stunning
arrangements of plants and the practical know-how for growing them,
shows how to choose easy-care combos of all kinds of succulents to
make the water-wise garden of your dreams."-Pam Penick, founder

"So many designers incorporate succulents in their designs these
days, but few do it as well as Gabriel Frank. His painterly use of
color, texture, and structure bring the spaces to life. His
signature feeling, flow, and careful plant selections take my
breath away. I've had the luxury of sitting in his gardens for
hours, absorbing every detail. And now, with these pages, you can
do the same. Enjoy!"-Nan Sterman, water-wise gardener, author of
