I have held on to the same article trying to find the author. Then, after many, many years, I finally have and even found a copy of the book to buy. The author, Carlton B. Lees, and the book \u003ci\u003eNew Budget Landscaping\u003c\/i\u003e, Chapter 1 \"in the beginning\" started my career with the outdoor world. The author takes gardens, landscapes, and the natural environment and shows us how we can create rooms, living environments, into our own backyards. History shows how we have manipulated our taste or desire. And the planet has a way of paying us back, one way or another. So, as we turn to work with nature and not against her, let's consider how we can achieve satisfaction for ourselves and this wonderful planet we call home.\u003cbr\u003eHe uses words - use, comfort, pleasure, villa, area, space, outer space, organization, chaos, room, and garden - to describe the garden.\u003cbr\u003eWe need to understand these words to sculpt, create, and make sense of our environment or make sense of the chaos and turn it into a living area to enjoy by humans and nature.\u003cbr\u003eJames Rose, a landscape architect, says, \"being inside a garden should be like being inside a piece of sculpture.\"\u003cbr\u003eThis book will focus on how to achieve this with low water plants to help conserve the planet's supply and still have beauty, function, form, and balance.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1999 as an undergrad, I wrote an article titled \"Xeriscaping for New England,\" and until now have slowly been trying to put this book together, so here we go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53042220073267,"sku":"9781951854461","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/2ie_PpgaRB9781951854461.webp?v=1770836457","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/xeriscaping-sustainability-for-new-england-a-practical-guide-to-a-water-wise-landscape-using-native-plants-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
