Indispensible for the beginning gardner

This book is wonderful. I'd be lost without it. It's also a very enjoyable read. It does not pretend to be an encyclopedic reference, so get something else (with photos...) for that purpose.

The Art of South Florida Gardening

Excellent primer for gardeners in the southern counties of Florida. Pen sketches. No photos, so you'll need a garden/plant photo book too.Humorous tips and practical advice on Fl gardens, lawns, trees & shrubs along with their 12-month growing season. Includes short descriptions on some of the more beautiful or well-adapted plants to use in the suburban landscape.The authors also cover specific challenges south FL gardeners face regarding soils, wet/dry periods and bugs. Conversational style and short chapters but thorough. Gets you to want to go outside and start planting! Excellent!
