2.0 out of 5 stars
A rehash of his previous books - don't bother with this one, March 27, 2006
This review is from: P. Allen Smith's Colors for the Garden: Creating Compelling Color Themes (Hardcover)
I expected more from this book given I own P. Allen Smith's previously published books P.Allen Smith's Garden Home and Container Gardens. But this book gave no additional information that wasn't already written in his other books. In addition, some of the photos were also repeated from his previously published books. Lack of information on how to mix and match colors in plantings made this book worthless. Basically what this book is, is just an encylopedia of plants categorized by color. I expected more!

helpful, inspiring guide, April 9, 2006
This review is from: P. Allen Smith's Colors for the Garden: Creating Compelling Color Themes (Hardcover)
The new book from P. Allen Smith is a lovely book full of clear pictures and advice that is useful and realistic while at the same time not being too restrictive. Many pages in the back of the book with plant suggestions and ideas and P. Allen's own advice using cool, hot and neutral colors as well as some of his own favorite choices. I have found this book very useful.
