Even a novice can have a beautiful garden
This book has become my dear companion over the past 12 years. The plans are beautiful and they have worked well for me, but the general information, and capsules on specific plants CONTINUE to teach me. Each plan is shown in three views, for color and growth covering spring, summer, and fall. As I contemplate my new Cape Cod location, and my mother's shady retreat in Ohio, I draw out my own ...

365 Days in the Garden Calendar - 2002
I loved my 2002 calendar and asked for the 2003 version for Christmas. I am SO DISAPOINTED to learn that one was not printed for 2003 (although there was SO much in the 2002 I wondered how one could write a similar calendar for 365 more days).

Even better than the first edition
I have long been a fan of the first edition and was pleased to hear the author on the radio recently. The second edition is newly updated and includes many details for organic gardeners which I enjoy. It is comprehensive in nature and well organized. It is the definitive garden book. You just can't do better.

Great for any Gardener!
I teach gardening classes with titles such as "Seed Catalogs are Seductive" and "Saving Seeds" and have recommended this book to my students. It is fun, and informative. Let's face it, you can't get far with gardening for fun, hobby or business if you don't learn some latin. Gardener's Latin makes it easy and explains all those things you've been wondering about. This is a fresh and ...

If you only buy one gardening book, buy this one
I have been gardening for more than fifty years and have acquired a library of hundreds of gardening books. If I had to sacrifice all my books but one, this is the book I'd keep. It is amazingly concise yet informative, the best book of all for a beginning gardener and an excellent overview and review for experienced ones. And it is amazingly affordable, perhaps because it sticks with ...
