Both the Taylor's Guides to individual plant groups and the Taylor's Weekend Guides on basic techniques and popular gardening styles are highly acclaimed and well established. We now enthusiastically add a quick-reference series for readers who don't have the time or the experience to do their own research. Taylor's 50 Best books highlight the most attractive foolproof plants and include detailed information that every gardener needs in order to grow them. Color photos, full-color drawings, and growing tips make each plant entry useful and complete. Six books introduce the series and cover the most popular plants for backyard gardeners: perennials for sun, perennials for shade, herbs and edible flowers, roses, shrubs, and trees.

Taylor's 50 Best Shrubs,
By
This review is from: Taylor's 50 Best Shrubs: Easy Plants for More Beautiful Gardens (Paperback)
If I could give this book a minus 5 I would. The content is fair, but the pictures are what really spoil the usefulness of the book. The pictures are close ups of the flowers or branches. I needed pictures of how the "SHRUB" would look in my landscape, not how the "flower" would look.

The BEST shrub book on the market and I've seen plenty,
By BamaBuilder (Montgomery, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taylor's 50 Best Shrubs: Easy Plants for More Beautiful Gardens (Paperback)
This book is THE guide and it's set up perfectly to help you understand and pick out a shrub. It has 95% of the most popular shrubs you would ever want for your garden. It has the USDA zone map and it has nice photos. I would love to see this book in an expanded format with more info and photos and more selections, but NOBODY has that yet. This is the #1 book for your shrub planning, so buy this one and Ortho's All About Shrubs And Hedges and you'll have the only 2 books you need.
