Winnie was so kind as to write a review for the Blog:

Rock Gardening by Joseph Tychonievich- Reimagining a Classic Style
Joseph is from Michigan but his book takes us all over the U.S. and
the United Kingdom showcasing rock gardens that are low maintenance,
drought resistant, time savers and also versatile.
You can begin with existing gardens or excavate and construct to
create your own personal design.
The photographs in this book are so refreshing that I’d like to just
step into them and get lost in their beauty. There are stunning photos
of larger rockscapes and pathways as well as other garden examples
that are relatively small- mostly private gardens to encourage us
gardeners with limited space. I enjoyed seeing the different plant
containers, hypertufa creations,and interesting garden accents along
with varying clips of striking color, textures,movement,and sizes of
so many plants and flowers.bn
The book features a chapter on differenet climates, and several
sources for procuring plants,seeds,and growing cuttings as well as
instructions for making hypertufa into containers or even using it as
edging.
This was a perfect book for me to sit and read through as a foot of
snow fell outside. You can request a copy at the Monroe County Library
System.
