3.0 out of 5 stars For northern gardeners only, January 5, 2000

By	Jim &Julie Scott (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews

Helpful booklet for those who garden in Wisconsin (sandy soils) and other northern climates (i.e. coast of Maine). The plant lists do not apply to Florida, Texas or the southwest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gardening In Sandy Soil is excellent, May 14, 2007

By	April Bayne "Designs of April" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These little booklets are a great resource for me as a landscape designer to learn about different kinds of soil conditions and plant selections. I also give them to clients as a resource to help them maintain their landscape.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gardening in Sandy Soil, November 4, 2003

By A Customer

A small, brief pamphlet that outlines a bit of information, but sorely lacking in specific detail or suggestions, like a list of plants that would do well in a sandy garden. Even at it's low cost, it wasn't worth the price.
