5.0 out of 5 stars super helpful for getting started, July 13, 2008

By	K. Hughes (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a beginning gardener, this book was invaluable to me in identifying the common plants in my neighborhood. The pictures are very good for getting a real sense of what each plant is like. Also, the number of plants included is manageable - not too many so as be completely overwhelming for the beginning or casual gardener, not too few as to be limiting. I also like the easy picture keys for each plant (native, sun/shade, drought, etc) - you can quickly scan through for plants that'll work for your situation.

It also has step by step advice for the best way to care for the different types of soil found in Minnesota, during the different months and seasons of Minnesota.
