Dry Gardens Reviews

This book on xeriscaping - gardening that requires no water from irrigation - documents the best of a new and inevitably necessary adaptation in landscaping. Landscape designer David Nolan compiles some of the most striking examples of minimal, cactus-and-agave-filled gardens that require little to no watering. -New York Magazine


The gardens are gorgeous and aspirational. Nolan seeks not to educate or proselytize about low-water gardening. With minimal text that sets the scene, he lets the photos do the talking. If you want to learn how the gardens save water through plant choice, grading, or other practicalities, this is not the book for you. It's garden porn, pure and simple. Fans of modern design will especially love it. - Digging

Who knew dry could look so lush? San Francisco landscape designer Daniel Nolan presents 25 examples of drought-tolerant gardens of his and others' designs with richly saturated photos by Caitlin Atkinson. - Society of Architectural Historians

The textures, architectural shapes, and lushness of the dry gardens captured by Daniel Nolan are overwhelming. His book has inspired me to create my own dry garden in LA. I am always trying to find ways to conserve water and never thought a garden could be so beautiful-with so little water.
-Jacqueline Schulze Weitzen, director, communications, GOOP
