5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative book especially for a first time gardener.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Louisiana Gardener's Guide (Paperback)
If you are looking for an complete and easy to use book this is the one to purchase. There are some color pictures (annuals, groundcovers, ornamental grasses, perennials, shrubs, trees, wildflowers, etc.) but what makes the book so good is the layout - when, where and how to plant, care & maintenance, additional information and additional species.

A must for gardeners new to Louisiana,
By A Customer
This review is from: Louisiana Gardener's Guide (Paperback)
Although the book is dedicated to first time gardeners in Louisiana, there is a wealth of information for the old timers as well. The book contains the how when and what to plant along with both common and scientific names of plants that will do well in the area.
The book is cram full of easy to follow sound advise for gardeners. A great "welcome gift" for anyone moving into Louisiana.
