Striking Succulent Gardens

Gabriel Frank has long been on my radar as one of the finest landscape designers specializing in succulents. He combines extensive knowledge with a keen eye for aesthetics. Gabe's excellent book shows and explains what you need to create your own strikingly beautiful succulent garden. --Debra Lee Baldwin, bestselling author of Designing with Succulents, Succulent Container Gardens, and Succulents Simplified With water an ever more precious resource throughout the western United States and beyond, Striking Succulent Gardens couldn't be 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 of Digging garden blog and author of The Water-Saving Garden 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 Hot Color, Dry Garden, and host/producer of public television's A Growing Passion
