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!

THIS IS A GOOD BASIC BOOK ABOUT GARDEN CREATION AND MAINTAINENCE. IT IS WELL ILLUSTRATED AND SIMPLIFIED SO THAT ANYONE CAN USE THE ADVICE. COUPLED WITH THE HELP OF A LOCAL NURSERY YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE THE KIND OF GARDEN YOU WANT FOR YOUR ZONE AN MICROCLIMATE.

The Yard & Garden Basics provides step-by-step directions on many yard and garden projects. The book came in great shape and in a very timely manner. I will order from this seller again.

Marginally useful since most of the plants and yard types are not relevant for south florida. Might have been useful when I lived further north, but hard to tell. I think you are better off getting a book more tailored to your region, even for the 'basics'... In general it is well organized and illustrated and I like that it lays flat.
