Nice Pictures and Relevant, Concise Info

I actually sought out and bought this book after finding and reading it from the Library. I have a top-quality gardening library. But none is near as good for design work as this: it provides a *PICTURE!*-and a good one, of nearly all entries, plus, rather than trying to be extensive, it lists a nice collection of widely applicable plants under such groupings as "low water" "ground-cover" "herb" "light foot trafic"...etc.Its a book well worth adding even to a fairly good garden design collection.

Ideal for neophyte gardeners & experienced horticulturalists

Lavishly illustrated with more than 400 beautiful color photographs, Creating Good Gardens offers clear, reader friendly, step-by-step instructions for creating floral combinations, foliage textures, and seasonal colors and blooms for gardens that are both pleasing to the eye and easy to maintain.

Ideal for the neophyte gardener, Creating Good Gardens also has much of value to offer the experienced horticulturist as well.
