Shrubs provide the bones of the landscape. They are versatile, useful, and beautiful. They mark boundaries, create barriers, deter animals, frame views, and block eyesores. Shrubs can promote privacy, offer a welcome to guests, or act as a background in a border. As ground covers, they can control erosion or act as an attractive, low-maintenance alternative to lawns. In their all-season versatility, they provide flowers and fragrance, colorful foliage, berries for the birds, and green color in winter. Because shrubs are not throwaway plants, it's all the more important to buy the right shrub for the right place. Too many gardeners have had the experience of putting in a neat little shrub and watching it grow to be a window-blocking monster. With this expert guide, readers will buy the right shrub in the first place and learn how to keep it looking its best.

Awesome reference for the beginning shrub gardener!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Shrubs (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
I just purchased a new home and have busily been planning the landscaping. I've been looking for inexpensive references to learn more about some of the shrubs I have chosen and how best to care for them. Taylor's Guide to Shrubs gives an excellent overview of various shrubs, their hardiness, even how to take care of pests! Best of all, it is an easy to use reference!I was able to identify many of the shrubs I've picked out and how they will look when flowering in a matter of moments. I recommend this for anyone who likes landscaping and needs a reference for their home.
