Must Have Gardening Book for every Gardener

I love this book, I buy it for anybody that gardens as a gift. They all love it! I like the pictures they really help if you need to identify plants or just want to browse to get ideas. It also has great plans and ideas for garden planning not to mention everything you need to know about each plant! A must have gardening reference book for every gardener!

Very thorough & covers all the bases!

This book covers all the essential herbs, vegetables, fruits, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and bulbs for your garden. Beautiful photos combined with thorough descriptions of each variety provide great inspiration. In addition, the book displays several successful garden layout options. A summary at the end of each section recommends plants by numerous categories: shade lovers, moisture lovers, blue flowers, pink flowers, etc. Other than lack of detail in pruning suggestions, the book covers it all!

The Essential Gardener

Stellar photography accompanies this comprehensive glossy reference that no gardener should be without. Covers annuals, perrenials, trees and shrubs, and roses. I pour over this wonderful book every day enjoying the beautiful photos and learning what will work for the spots I have in mind. Handy charts organized by color and purpose. If you can only have one reference, make it this one!
