Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp, garden columnist for the Indianapolis Star on Sundays and Tom Tyler, past Extension Educator and horticulturist for the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service in Indianapolis collaborated to pick more than 175 ornamental plants that do well in the Hoosier landscape. Detailed information on each plant including the "when, where and how" to plant is included. Although not every plant that does well in Indiana is listed, this book provides a great starting point. A must for long-time Hoosier residents and new arrivals as well!

I think this book is very well written and would be a very helpful reference library addition for gardeners' of all levels. It is written clearly and concisely. The pictures actually look like what they are describing. The book deals with those perennials that grow in our state but are also useful for any gardeners in the same growing zones. I have also heard Ms. Meyers-Sharp speak and her talks are just like her written word.

Finally a book for Hoosiers! The pictures are very helpful for beginning gardeners or those who just want to learn plant names. Bought as a gift for someone new to the landscaping field and she loved it!
