I Loved this book!!! A friend lent it to me and I fell in Love with it I had to have it. It teaches you so much. Things I never new, ideas I would of never thought of, solves dying plant problems. It is a great book for the novice gardener who wants to learn more or the experienced gardener. It is the most helpful plant book I have found. Not to mention it has great ideas for kids!! It is a must have. I hope all that have it enjoy it as much as I have. My kids have benefited from it too. They love the neat things I come up with for them!!!! Hope you buy this book. I highly reccommend it!!!

A gorgeous book! It doesn't go into depth. (Hey, it's "Reader's Digest" -- what do you expect?) If you want science, biology, botany, or anything terribly detailed, look elsewhere. If you want light, readable, helpful information inside a book that's beautiful to behold, this is a worthwhile purchase.

Have you ever just wanted to look up some facts about a plant and ended up thumbing through book after book? It's a waste of time- time you could have been out working in the garden.

Well- problem solved- this beautiful lay out makes it super simple with an alphabetically or indexed method to quickly find what you need.

You'll also read about tools, weather conditions, bugs and fun tidbits from the past.

The pictures alone are enough to get you in creative mode and the information assures your success.

Pickup a copy for yourself or a garden loving friend, it's sure to reap years of useful reference and glorious green rewards.,

This book answered every single question that I threw at it, and gave me so much more! The best money I've spent in a while! Short to the point answers, not complicated biology lessons. I will enjoy it thoroughly, and am fighting off my sister-in-law for reading time!

416 pages of information you need to know to help you with your garden. In the Contents is a wondeful pages index. It's from A to Z. Whatever you are planting, buying or building or need information on good benefical bugs or the bad pests, it is all here.

Any questions you may have about gardening and any fruit or vegetable, bush or tree, Reader's Digest will have the answer for you in this book.

This book is a wonderful resource for gardening. You will find all the answers to your questions and more. There are great ideas on setting up gardens, container planting, lawn care and general information of all types of plants. I have pulled it out several times already this spring. The set-up lets you find what you are looking for from A to Z.

I have a large vegetable garden and always have questions about something with the vegetables I grow. This book has information, suggestions on planting, growing, types of diseases, etc. for all the 20 plus different vegetables I grow. Beats having to look through a bunch of books or spending hours on the internet looking for answers especially when you need some quick answers.

This book is wonderful and very easy to read. It is simple and concise yet very thorough. The subjects range from A-Z literally. It has many small pictures and examples which are very helpful as well. When I first bought it I sat down and read it in its' entirety without any problem. For those of us who enjoy gardening but may not be all that educated or experienced in it, the book lends an even greater hand. A must have for any home library! Happy Reading!

Concise, easy to read, well illustrated and extremely useful to quickly find what you are looking for.

Set up aphabetically like a dictionary!!

I'm moving out of the house and have to scale down and simply. Which means I have to clear out my book collection.
I thought this book would sell for so much more. It seems so underated. It's my "bible". I guess I'm going to keep it and hope I'll get another chance to use it down the road. For you.. No matter the condition, if you're even slightly interested in trying something new, don't pass this up.
I can't explain it well enough. If you are thinking of changing a few things in your garden but don't know where to start, try it out. Some information is common sense that you never thought would apply in your situation. I found myself thinking "Why didn't I think of that?" on several occasions.
This book explains many things very clearly. If you are a beginner and scared to try any type of yard work- start here. Once you start gardening, chances are it will change you. It helped motivate me. I mean, instead of being scared to hurt a plant badly enough to have neighbors talking or maybe even damage your yard completely, this will help build enough confidence to try something new because now you know.
I hope you find yourself getting excited to get outside, enjoy the hard work. Don't worry about getting dirty or having to move 1 or 2 plants around. Just wait. You'll be amazed when you see what YOU accomplished.
Who knows? Maybe you'll find yourself waking up at sunrise for the first time. That's how much it changed me-all because of this book. I would love to hear the book changed other gardeners. (Beginners or Master)

I got a little dramatic there. I'm sorry about that. I want to say that I'm a teenager. I never thought something like gardening could change my life in so many ways. It all started with this book. No other book has even come close.
Thank you.
