Review: Lawns Into Meadows

Lawns Into Meadows: Growing a Regenerative Landscape

by Owen Wormser

 Very good information in general, and very inspiring, but not nearly enough information. The beginning and the end include a bunch of "success stories" (and a failure) that are good to read, but I expected a lot more meat in the middle.  And then he went into a descriptions of 21 meadow plants that, he says, are good for starter meadows anywhere.  I don't think half of them would thrive in my North Texas hot and dry clay soil.  They were nice for examples, but not useful for me.

 
If the book had been twice the length with a lot for information, it would have been well worth a purchase. As it is, getting it from the library suited me just fine.
