You can never have too many gardening books.

It is past time for my raised garden, small as it is. Each year, it gains a new personality. In the winter, it gets replaced with black river rocks. Then each year the rocks get removed, and the planting begins. One year, it was just cat thyme for my outdoor friends to travel. One year, just different lavenders. I am a little late this year, and it looks like a few natives have taken possession. I found this book, or should I say it found me. They say you cannot tell a book by its cover. But it was the cover that attracted me. Then I glanced at the pictures before reading. Wow. I can do some marvelous things and garden wisely. However, I do not think I can get my 2,000 sq' house to look quite like the homes in the pictures. I would have bought the book alone for the pictures. When this book gets down to the technicalities of gardening from soil to plants to tools and how to use them, there is something to learn, no matter how much you know. You can get more out of this book if you have any gardening background. Look up Smith & Hawken on the internet. "The more you garden, the more you grow."
