When Possible Buy Used Books. This Used Book arrived in excellent condition. Very informative book. Most helpful to those learning the flower garden way.

I love the book. It is very informative, even a beginner gardener has all the steps to having a lovely garden.

Very helpful gardening book. I enjoying sharing the information with neighbors and friends whenever they ask for help on gardening advice. The author of this book always has very well written garden books.

I bought this book for my son who is a landscaper This gives him helpful information for his business. He can look up what type of plant will go with the clients landscape and also is used as a good reference guide. The price was very good too and I saved on time and money by saving on gas driving from bookstore to bookstore to find the perfect book and time by looking at the books content in the comfort of my home.

Best Gardening Book by far for me.

This is, hands-down, the best Gardening Book I've come across. At least for me. I am an amateur Weekend Gardener. The Book is very well written, easy to understand, thorough, and both skillfully organized & illustrated. It has an amazing amount of useful information in just 256 pages. I tried to buy a copy at my local Home Depot, but they were out. Now I know why.

This is the Book I've been looking for, but bought others before finding it. I bought the "Better Homes & Gardens New Complete Guide to Landscaping" which is also good and, in some ways, more comprehensive. But I strongly prefer "1-2-3". It became my "Bible" virtually instantly.

I previously also "stretched" and bought "Taylor's Guide: Encyclopedia of Garden Plants" It has lots more Plants & varieties -- and some very long explanations. Yet, they could take valuable lessons from the Folks at Home Depot in how to "present" the information in their Encyclopedia. I'd buy a copy of an expanded "1-2-3" version in an instant, where I'd leave Taylor's to the true Experts -- as it is intended.

Another Reviewer calls 1-2-3 "A first-rate reference for flower gardening." (March 22, 2002). I enthusiastically agree. However, my one wish is for Home Depot to expand both the Flower Encyclopedia and the Index Sections (giving Taylor's something to shoot at). I know I'd buy a "1-2-3" version if I had a chance. Well done Home Depot!
