Visually the book is pleasing with a concise, easy-to-read format that allows quick gleaning of info. She discusses the plants best features as well as basic characteristics. Lois Hole also includes special uses, location, tips, planting recommendations and maintenance. She addresses problem solving with some brief "what to plant where" lists.
