Being new to the area, and wanting to get familiar with local plants, I found the information in this book to be very helpful. The month by month directions were helpful for plants I was unfamiliar with. My bigest critisim of it would be that there are no color pictures of the plants described so you have to have a hefty botanical book in order to see all of the plants mentioned. They should have a reference section such as that of Southern Living or Sunset which has small color pictures showing the desribed plants. That would make this book perfect.

Fantastic book, particularly for new gardeners or home owners. It breaks down plants into categories (annuals, bulbs, trees, houseplants, etc) then gives you monthly direction on caring for the plants. The back contains some appendixes which recommend varieties and pesticides.

If you're interested in vegetable gardening, combine this book with Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Book.

This book was loaned to me by a long-time gardener at church who said it was the best out there and now I have my own copy becuase I kept going to her house to look up something. I love the way it seperates chores by month and area of garden.

This book contains excellent basic information about when to take care of the various plants in the yard. A great book for reminders about lawn care, when to prune what and other general tips for your Southern yard.

I wouldn't buy a garden book again with out color pictures. Altho I've been a gardner for many years, I would
still consider myself just above a beginner, and I need the color photos! Makes for a much more exciting book too. Information was good and an interesting way of presenting: ie catagorized by type of plant material, ground covers, trees, flowering bushes, etc.; and then by month/season.... this was very informative! Also included important information on dangerous insects, etc. that one should watch for!

This guide is fantastic! It tells you what you need to do in your yard/garden month by month. It is separated into catagories, e.g. roses, shrubs, grass, etc. Then each section tells you exactly what you need to do each month. I recommend to anyone who wants a beautiful yard but isn't sure how to attain it.

I am a professional gardener and this book is so great! Anything that Walter Reeves does is awesome! This book is split up by month and each month is extremely detailed with information on grass upkeep and care, shrubs, etc. It also tells you when to fertilize/prune specific plants. I highly recommend this for professionals and people who lack a green thumb in Georgia!

great deal. great condition. Almost new. Saw it at Lowe's for $25. Bought it on Amazon for total of $8. DUH?

We got this book as a gift. The first fatal flaw is the lack of real or even illistrated color pictures. A few pages in one finds a table listing annuals that grow in most parts of Georgia. Wait a minute. How do we know if we live in in one of these parts where they grow. The month by month layout appears to be just a gimmic that made it east to write the book.

Your local nursery is a better resource.
