This well-loved copy of “Step-by-Step Landscaping” from the venerable Better Homes and Gardens series offers a glimpse into the evolution of American gardening and landscaping trends in the late 20th century. Published in the era of burgeoning suburban sprawl and the rise of the DIY home improvement movement, this practical guide aimed to empower homeowners to transform their outdoor spaces into personal oases of beauty and functionality. Beyond mere aesthetics, the book likely delved into sustainable practices, water conservation, and the incorporation of native plants – reflecting the growing environmental consciousness of the time.

For collectors of vintage home and garden literature, this volume represents a captivating time capsule of domestic aspirations and changing cultural values.
