Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This gardening overview is divided into four sections: "The Contained Garden," "The Garden in Bloom," "Garden Style," and "Garden Themes." Subjects range from ground covers and annuals to fruit, alpine, and water gardens. But because of the sheer number of subjects included, each topic is covered in a mere two to four pages, with minimal textAthough the many spectacular photographs show a wide variety of plants, gardens, and garden styles. Entire books are available on many of these topics, so McGlynn is only touching upon each. She concludes with lists of plants in various categoriesAcontainer plants, border plants, trees and shrubs, etc.Abut omits USDA hardiness zones. While this book would be useful to browsers choosing a style of garden or looking to add to established gardens, it is an optional purchase for most libraries.ASue O'Brien, Downers Grove P.L., IL

Garden candy for your eyes!,
By odie8472@yahoo.com (Central Valley California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Gardening Book: Over 1,000 Inspirational Ideas and Practical Tips to Transform Your Garden (Paperback)
Wonderful pictures. For the price, you can't beat the quality of this book. The information is given in short simple decriptions; you're not going to learn to be a master gardener reading this book. It is as if you are peaking over a neighbor's fence and sharing ideas. If you like to save seed catalogs because they are so pretty then you need this book.

This review is from: The Ultimate Gardening Book: Over 1,000 Inspirational Ideas and Practical Tips to Transform Your Garden (Paperback)
From the basic necessities to imaginative ideas for accessorizing, this book gives you the information you need to create a beautiful garden. It covers everything from where to start with container plants, to making a woodland garden. There are ideas on fences, gates, trellises, pathways, tiering systems, essential perennials and home produce to mention just a few. The photographs are amazing and plentiful. If you don't get inspired by this book, you must be brain dead! When it promises there are over 1,000 inspirational ideas and tips to transform your garden, it delivers. I refer to this book on a regular basis for the plant list and garden calendar.

The purchase of this book was not meant for gardening in our purchase. My wife is an artist and wanted the book for the beautiful pictures that she prefers to use for her paintings.
