5.0 out of 5 stars great reference, June 9, 2008

By	J. Foster (Petaluma, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We recently purchased a house with a large yard that is rough in several places. Since I am a beginning gardener I find this book a great help in guiding my efforts to enhance and plant our yard. I love that it includes construction help as well as information on plants and flowers.

This review is from: Step-by-Step Landscaping (Paperback)

This book covers pretty much all the projects around the house. Has a section that covers the names of plants, flower, and trees with pictures to give you an idea what they look like.
