Great for the basics; beautiful!

This is a beautifully produced book that has terrific basic information. Of course, every region has its challenges, but this is a nice addition to any gardener's library.

Great comprehensive guide

This book has everything you need and then some! Filled with glorious color photos of more plants than one could ever need, The New Garden Book will keep you occupied and educated on all things Garden! Includes a guide to your specific zone and region, along with maintenace tips for all seasons. This edition even includes some great tips for veggi gardeners.

Great Book for Beginners

This is a great book for beginners. If you want to start a garden and are looking for a single good source of reference, then this is that book. I got tired of refering to 100's of books and not feeling satisfied about any of them. This book is a real source of joy and one also knows what to expect when starting a garden. Worth every cent of money that it costs. Must buy.

A basic yet comprehensive gardening book

This book covers a lot of ground (no pun intended!) in its pages--everything from lawns and landscaping to container gardening and houseplants. Numerous photographs and diagrams illustrate the book, and it has a nice section where common perennials and annuals are pictured. If you want a good basic reference on all kinds of gardening, this one is a super start. I come back to it even as I've added more specialized books to my gardening library.
