Customer Reviews

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL GOOD YEARS OF USE OUT OF THIS ONE

I have owned and used this garden guide from quite a number of years now (bought it near the time of it's publication) and have never spent a better dollar when it comes to my garden. This is one of the most comprehensive works of the subject of gardening I am aware of and to top it off, it is even readable! The format makes finding information quite easy. The illustrations are great, being not only pretty, but quite useful to boot. With over five acres of flower gardens, vegtable gardens and fruit trees, I find my self constantly returning to this volume for information. Cannot recommend this one highly enough.

Complete is Right

I love this book it has everything you could possibly need to know about gardening. From starting seedlings to what plants are best for your zone. It's big with tons of great information and simple instructions.

The Complete Garden Guide

I hate using an overly-used quote, but if you only get one book on gardening, then make it this one! It's great for beginners as well as intermediates. It's filled with wonderful tips on designing and maintaining lawns and gardens, along with how to deal with pests and diseases. The writing of the book is easy to understand, and there are hundreds of pictures explaining layouts and designs. This book is ideal for anyone who wishes to grow vegetables, flowers, trees, and shrubs. The largest section breaks down the plants by annuals, perennials, wildflowers, etc with the most complete explaination of plants, where to grown them, and how to grow them that I have ever seen. Just about every page has a gorgeous photo or diagram on it. My one and only complaint is that some of the tiny flowers on bushes or shrubs would have been easier to see if their picture had been printed in a larger size, but I consider this so minor compared to the almost 1000 pages of information. I highly recommend this book!

Great resource for the home

You have to have this book, it answers nearly every question I had about gardening. Including use of weed killers, which plants do well in the shade, great photos, even indoor plants and stuff to grow for your kitchen and the recipes to go with them. Its is expensive, but well worth it.
