Edible Landscape

Books and Resources for a landscaping newbie.

14 years ago

Howdy there,

I live in Austin, Texas. Been doing a bunch of small landscaping gigs and would like to expand my knowledge and expertise. Down the line I would like to get into edible landscape in general using natives.

Any good books you would recommend? about design, methods, aimed for the starter?

Any good landscapers forums aimed for people with businesses?

General words of advice?

Thanks in advance and have a great day,

Reed
