This review is from: Yard & Garden Basics (Better Homes and Gardens(R): Step-By-Step Series) (Plastic Comb)

Being new at gardening, I found this book to be a wonderful reference book. It lays flat for easy reference and contains great illustrations and information for the beginner and the more experienced. Contains information on lawns, trees, flowers, and more.

For a beginner gardener as I am it was a joy to have bought this book. Very well illustrated. In fact you see so well the gardens'ideas that reading the book is just a complement to help you plant your garden. Well written and very clear. True to its title: step-by-step. I am glad I bought it and I do recommend it. It makes possible to have a dream garden in your house.

I'm brand new to gardening and was feeling completely overwhelmed and intimidated until discovering this group. It is exactly what I needed to give me the confidence to get started. I recommend it highly!
