"Easy-Care Perennial Gardens" -- a Good First Book

This book gives fledgling gardeners an overview of practical perennial gardening techniques. I especially liked the section about developing garden plans because it simplified what always appeared to me to be a complex process. The book could use more information about soil preparation, such as double digging, and effective plant combinations. Overall, though, "Easy-Care Perennial Gardens" provides readers with an easy-to-read primer that whets the appitite for more books on the subject.

Could be "Perennials for Dummies" but it's better

The design of gardens feature is especially helpful. Perennials can be so overwhelming- to get them right. This takes the stress out of that. Plus great info on troubles and how to treat them.
