5.0 out of 5 stars The best reference for the South, July 2, 2006

By	Alberta S. Mckay (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Southern Living Garden Book: Completely Revised, All-New Edition (Hardcover)

As the librarian for my garden club, I have a small budget to buy books that meet our needs. A happy by-product of this activity is that I learn the best ones, and I can then buy them for myself. This is one of these. A great index, cultural information, plant descriptions for almost everything (not everything, but almost) make it indispensible for us as a reference at our annual plant sale and during meetings. I would say it is the most popular book at our meetings and the one owned individually by the most members.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd bought the hardback edition!, November 11, 2006

By	A. K. Crews (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

We bought our first home this summer and knew we had to make big changes to the small backyard but had no idea where to begin. This was the first gardening book I bought, and I might never have to buy another! The lists of plants for various conditions is extremely helpful. The plant descriptions are thorough but easy for a beginner like me to understand. And the other gardening procedures and tips, from how to prune a shrub to how to get rid of pests and diseases are equally as readable and useful. A must-have for any Southern gardener!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for gardeners for Southern and Southeastern states, January 4, 2006

By	calicorkication "cacti and succulent guy" (Jonesboro, AR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Southern Living Garden Book: Completely Revised, All-New Edition (Hardcover)

The USDA provides a general hardiness zone map that does not take into effect the microclimates that many US regions experience. These zones are generally seen on store bought plants and seeds. This book takes those microclimates into consideration and makes adjustments accordingly while also giving in depth information on each plant that can grow well in our Southern states. If you have lived out West and own the Sunset Western Garden Book, this is the bible for Southern gardeners in much the same way.
