I purchased this book before I bought my house and immediately started planning out how I wanted my future yard to look. It's a great starter for those of us who dont know much about our "zones" in the midwest. It's good to know that the plants that are being recommended are cold hardy and will live through our harsh winters. If you are just getting started with landscaping, this is a great book to buy! This book is in no way overwhelming with "gardener's lingo" that will confuse you, it is pretty basic. Many of the plants are available at Home Depot or Menards. Try is today!

Gardening 101

As a new and inexperienced gardener, I found this book to be very helpful when planning my small garden. The language is very clear and easy to understand, especially for people who are unfamiliar with basic garden terminology. In addition to planting tips, there are sections devoted to all the different types of plants, flowers, and shrubs. Each spread contains basic information about various plants, including information on when and where to plant them, specific planting instructions and a "TLC" section for each plant. There are also beautiful color photos of hundreds of different plants and suggestions on which plants make great garden companions. I'm very glad that I have this book to help me along during my adventures in gardening!
