This review is from: Missouri Gardener's Guide (Paperback)

A friend loaned me this book recently. The layout is extremely helpful for quick reference and useful information. I look forward to taking it with me when I go to the garden center. The book is organized alphabetically, readily showing the most important information including hardiness zones, sun requirements and a synopsis of the plant's habit. In addition, there is a photo reference with clear and distinct photos of the plants described. I own quite a few garden books, but this is the one I will be taking with me when I go to buy plants, and the one I will use when browsing catalogues.
