This review is from: The ZONE GARDEN: A SUREFIRE GUIDE TO GARDENING IN ZONES 8, 9, 10 (Paperback)

I live in northern Florida and bought a landscape fixer-upper house a year ago. This book has been very helpful for choosing interesting plants. Unlike some other zone books, I appreciate that it also notes whether particular plants are more appropriate for humid versus dry climates (because Florida and Arizona can have the same zone number, and you'll waste your money if you only go by the number). Also, it is very glossy and colorful and would make a nice gift.

This review is from: The ZONE GARDEN: A SUREFIRE GUIDE TO GARDENING IN ZONES 8, 9, 10 (Paperback)

After some expensive plants were lost, thought it is about time to make better selections not only for the area but also the amount of shade. I would have liked to seen more varieties in the book but it does good for what it covers. I would have done better if I had made a trip to the library first

This is a great guide for both a beginning gardener or one who is seasoned - as we all need to know what plants
will thrive and do well in our particular landscaping plan!
It arrived pronto, once order - and has been a valuable tool.
