Enjoyable reading and practical advice

This was my first gardening book and I have read it many times over. The book is very logically organized, with sections on annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, grasses, bulbs, and water gardens. There even is an appendix devoted to shady gardens. While perhaps not comprehensive, the plants chosen are those that are classic to Tennessee and Kentucky. The author has a very down to earth style in writing, touching on the basics of soil/light/water requirements, routine care, companion planting, and personal favorites. The photos are very nice. I have found the book to be a great resource for choosing plants for where I live in middle Tennessee, and the style of the writing is simply enjoyable to read. I have read it many many times and have not tired of it. If you live in this area, it is a great first book to get you started. If you are an advanced gardener, you might not find it quite comprehensive enough, but I still think you would find it enjoyable.
