This is a very extensive and well organized reference book for the home gardener but as the title says, its an encyclopedia and does not provide suggestions, garden planning or tips. I bought this book along with the "Gardening All-in-One for Dummies" for the "how to's" and it has been a perfect combination.

I gave this book to my 80 year old mother who is an avid gardener and she hasn't put it down. She still works in her garden daily and makes reference to the book every time I stop by for a cup of tea and a walk through her yard and flower beds! The book arrived looking brand new!

I ordered this book after having a copy of my own. I liked it so much that I purchased an additional copy for my daughter.

this is one of the best I have seen for all types of plants, book is in new condition, great buy for my money

This is, by far, the most comprehensive book of its kind. Should you ever need a gift for a gardner, beginner or expert, this would be a great choice.
I have found that to have a picture increases my retention of the name of the plant/bush or tree. All I can say - it's great!

I am a college student and have work land scape at a private and very beautiful golf course in the mid west for 5 years, and let me tell you this book is probably one of the best books I have worked with. The back is great it shows you what plants like what type of conditions and where they should be planted. Though it doesn't have every single type of plant in it, it still is an excellent book for any experience type. The book is laid out in different sections, for example tree and shrub, house plants, grasses, flowers, and vegetable, fruit and herb care so finding something is easy even when you don't know the name. Plus how can you go wrong with a book that is made by miracle grow.

This book is a great source of information, good descriptions of many plants and shrubs. I refer to it often....

This book is everything I wanted in a reference book. Clear concise information, useful to the beginner gardener. Beautiful photograghs too!
