New Complete Guide to Gardening (Better Homes & Gardens (Hardcover))

Rating:
Summary: A good tool for novice gardeners!
Review: Being totally honest, I can readily say, that I only partially enjoy gardening. The book makes this art a little bit more interesting and the pictures are pleasing to the eye.

Summary: Great reference tool for beginners!
Review: I bought this book when I bought & built my first house. I had to landscape my entire yard from nothing but dirt. This book provided a great starting point. It explained all the basics, and gave me a push in the right direction. Anytime I need more info on any plant or flower, I refer to this book for a great color picture and planting information. Now that I am becoming a more advanced gardener, I find I like more in-depth detail, but for the first 8 months of landscpaing, this book became my tattered, highlighted lifesaver!

Summary: Information is out-of-date, mistaken.
Review: I'm a master gardener, so I picked up this book eagerly. Unfortunately, although the book is nice to look at, the information it contains is pretty old and in some cases, just mistaken. There are many other books that contain much better research than what is found here.
