1Not Very InformativeApr 10, 2009
This book was disappointing - not nearly as informative as one would expect for a beginning gardener's book. Doesn't tell you where to plant, which exposures plants like, etc.

4Good reference for gardening novice.Feb 10, 2009
We are new to gardening and needed some help and advice. I found this book a good reference aid. There are lots of colorful pictures in there which I love.

Good guide for the novice. But some sections are a little brief. You may still need to go online to supplement some of the info for a better understanding.

We got it from an Amazon marketplace vendor for a very low price.

4Good bookApr 06, 2007
Overall this was very informative with a lot of big, colorful pictures, which I like. In the future I might buy a book specific to my area (New England) so that I know I can plant everything listed in the book.
