The inspiration for the Summer-Dry book in the PhotoBotanic Learning Center, this beautiful 320-page book features more than 650 native Californian and Mediterranean plants photographed in garden settings. It showcases landscaping in summer-dry climates such as the West Coast of California and other Mediterranean regions of the world.
