Rachel Snyder takes a practical approach to the unique problems of the plains. Instead of telling me what I can't plant, she gives me myriad options for creating a long-lasting, beautiful garden. What this book lacks in beauty, it makes up for with loads of great advice and information about plants that will survive scorching heat, high winds and cold winters. I highly recommend the book for beginning gardeners.

This book has valuable information for my area of the country for all my perennial garden dos and don'ts. It does not have a lot of fancy photos but valuable information. I love it!

This book is the best resource that I've found to finish and improve my garden here in Kansas. This book has some nice pictures, but they are not particularly useful. I don't even care though b/c this book is LOADED with great gardening advice. I've read dozens of gardening books, but I learned a lot of new things from this resource. It is especially helpful in terms of plant selection-choosing plants that grow great in our region. I like that it gives more choices than the Sunset "top ten" book. I think this guide may be a little outdated in terms of listing new cultivars, but I didn't consider that a problem, either.
