He is the author of Landscape Plants for California Gardens. Pacific Horticulture editor Dick Turner says this about the book:

"Landscape Plants for California Gardens should be on the reference shelf of every landscape professional working in the state, and in the personal library of anyone seriously interested in gardening responsibly in California."
