Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Beginning gardeners should find this book a useful single-volume guide to basic gardening techniques, garden plants and their pests and diseases, and principles of design, but anyone looking for new ideas will be disappointed. Aside from the occasional nod to organic gardening and xeriscaping principles, this is a very conservative book, focused on tried-and-true plants and the search for an immaculate lawn. The illustrations are also uneven, with good, step-by-step drawings but also photographs that are blurry, strangely developed, mislabeled, or lacking identification of pictured plants. This said, the Complete Guide nevertheless offers a great deal of good information and will probably be a valuable addition to smaller gardening collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have for the beginner and the pro!, July 9, 1999
By A Customer
This is the best gardening book in print. It covers trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, house plants. It is loaded with how-tos. It is by my side from January (planning stage) to the fall. Unbelievably helpful for any stage gardener.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful reference guide to have!, April 20, 1997
By A Customer
I use this book daily during 'gardening season'! It has easy directions, clear diagrams, and extensive dictionaries of annuals, trees, shrubs, ground covers, etc. This book is also tree-mendously helpful in identifying problems in the garden - i.e., disease, bugs, etc. Each chapter also has a calendar of 'things to do' each month depending on where you live. It's a great wedding or house warming gift, too

I am an avid gardener, although I am an amateur at it. I like detail, but not the kind that requires brain surgery for you to figure out what the authors are trying to say... Read more
