Naturalistic Planting Design with Aaron Fox
I've included a list of books on naturalistic planting design below which are worthwhile reading if someone is interested in learning more about this particular style of planting design. It might be appropriate to point out that most of them don't advocate the use of native plants, but I believe the concepts can be used in the same way for native plant gardens.
