5.0 out of 5 stars Fledgling gardener LOVES this resource, April 5, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Western Garden Book (Paperback)

Denver, Colorado. Besides its other sections (Weeds, Fragrant Plants, How to Prune, etc.) the majority of this book is a catalog of plants, with a small, very helpful drawing of each plant and a description of the plant, its zones, its hardiness and so on. I've learned soooo much from thumbing through this book. I recommend it as a cornerstone book in your gardening library. Mine is full of margin notes, highlighting pen and post-it notes. A great housewarming present

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE FOR THE WESTERN GARDENER, EASY TO READ, October 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Western Garden Book (Paperback)

If you only have one book on gardening, this is the one to have. Easy to understand, great cross referencing. Virtually every plant you can buy in a nursery is in the book.
