Chase, is both useful and beautiful because she has a feel for the dreams - and limitations - of the home gardener. Rose water plum compote and Mountain Farm citrus lavender marinade sound lovely, and doable.\ \ \ Library JournalChase, who has written architecture and landscape design articles, explores a variety of edible plants from fruits to nuts and berries to herbs and vines to wildflowers that gardeners may grow as part of their landscape. Including plants suitable for all parts of the country, entries feature information on how to use the plants in the landscape, how to enjoy and/or preserve them, cultural requirements, and recipes. However, Chase doesn't always list USDA hardiness zones, and she provides only an overview on how to care for the plants and how to preserve the produce. For more specific information, she refers the reader to a variety of web sites. VERDICT While the book includes stunning photographs of the plants, gardeners would be better served by consulting books specifically written about growing fruit trees, berries, herbs, or other edible plants of interest.—Sue O'Brien, Downers Grove P.L., IL\ \ \ \ \ Dominique Browning…both useful and beautiful because [Chase] has a feel for the dreams—and limitations—of the home gardener.\ —The New York Times\ \
