The Garden Planner

Summary: Just plain fun!
Review: I discovered "The Garden Planner"...It is a fun book, hardback (with a spiral bound flipbook inside.) The flip-pages are divided into 4 sections allowing you to mix and match varieties of plants, shrubs, and trees to your hearts content! Each selection is numbered and a description is given (with information on blooming period and planting guidelines.) It is just plain fun to do. It's an interesting format, and provides lots of information for the "plan-minded" gardener. Really a "fun" flower book!

Summary: Best Overall Garden Book
Review: This book is wonderful for all levels-- beginning gardeners to experts. I have an extensive gardening library and this is by far the most "user friendly". The pictures help to identify plants and they also suggest other plants to accompany your selection, so I always take it to the nursery with me as a resource. It's also durable and can be left in the dirt without damage. One warning, however, check your index because mine is a mis-print and the last page is missing, replaced by a duplicate first page. Despite this flaw, I plan to buy more as gifts.

Summary: Very Useful and Fun Flip-Book
Review: This is the most amazing garden planning book, presented in a way so simple (and even "retro"). Each page is divided into four flip sections, and you can visually mix and match flowers and shrubs to see how they'd look next to each other in your garden. The back of each picture has full planting information which makes planning even easier. Buy this book for yourself, and then order more copies as gifts for your friends!
