4.0 out of 5 stars
great gift for the gardener,
By J F Garrett (Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Gardener (Hardcover)
I saw this book on accident one day while visiting a friend. She had borrowed the book from a co-worker because she was starting a new flower garden and didn't know where to start. I was quite impressed with the pictures, also the instructions on planting beds, containers, and borders. It has suggestions for the seasoned gardener and everything the new gardener needs to know. My Mom is in the process of purchasing a new home and this book will make a great Mother's Day gift.

a good start to gardening,

This review is from: The New Gardener (Hardcover)
Actually this is a very interesting book for someone who is new to gardening. The pictures of colorful and descriptive. Garden basics are included: site and exposure, weather, micro-climates and making the most of your soil, important issues that the newbie should remember. If you want some ideas that include beds and borders, paths, boundaries, and water features then this is a nice start.
For the more advanced gardener it includes ideas for container gardening, edible gardening, greenhouses and transforming your lawn. As with anything outdoors you must remember plant zones and what is appropriate to plant for your area. A little weak in this area it is still a nice book to give as a gift. I intend on letting my daughter, who needs ideas for her house, have this enjoyable garden book. "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." ~~ C. S. Lewis
