Customer Reviews

This is a great reference book esp. for Zones 6-1

This is a good book to have on hand for planning a new garden. The text is well-written, informative and witty. It is not the comprehensive equal of Dirr's 'Manual of Woody Landscape Plants,'but it has color pictures and good information for gardens in zone 6 and lower. I believe the author's garden was in zone 6 or 5(?) and the book covers everything she sucessfully grew there. So, if she grew it, it's here. If she didn't grow it, check Dirr's book.
