Customer Reviews

A surprisingly comprehensive work at a great price

I have a good library of gardening books, and had a perennial nursery for five years. This was the book I turned to first, and the one I recommended to all customers at the nursery. A surprising number of unusual cultivars are mentioned, with very sensible growing instructions. Well written, good photos. If you're just learning, it's not intimidating; but there is a lot of material for the more advanced gardener. For the money, it's the best buy!

My experiences with Fred McGourty prove this books quality.

I am 17 years old and have worked at Hillside Gardens for 5 years now, under Fred and MaryAnn McGourty. It has been a wonderful experience, and after five years, there is always something new to learn. It is an extremely strenuous job but is well worth it in the end to see what you have accomplished. I have not seen many gardens better looking than Hillside, and am proud to say that I helped do so. To get to my point, I feel that this book "Perennials: How to..." reflects Freds work greatly. This book is a wonderful guide for the exotic perennials, and includes many great ideas on how to successfully grow and maintain them. So in closing if you are looking for a great perenial referance book, this is the one.
