5.0 out of 5 stars enlightening and detailed, June 4, 1998
Considering I live about ten miles away from the author and visited her garden with my club last summer, one might not think me a very objective critic. And regarding this book, I'm probably not. I found the book full of good information about the perennials that florish here in unpredictable zone 5, and great suggestions for beautiful color combinations. The book is really for avid gardeners who are interested in further studies of particular plants and their cultivars, and the experiences of a gardener/artist who treats the garden as her canvas. She is a bit of a garden snob, and if you are partial to cutsey planters and other garden fixtures, don't bother with this book.
