Summary: Ho-hum
Review: The title of this book is misleading. It's just another "How to Garden" book. There are lots of these on the market, some better than others. This isn't a good one. More than half the book is Plant Directory - the usual listing of garden plants and the rest is the usual information about planning, composting, weed control etc. There are lots of colour photos.

The section on planning a garden has pictures of stylized gardens surrounding little doll houses with no allowance for a driveway and no sign of neighbours. They seemed unrealistic and not helpful. I've read this writer's other book and quite liked it - not sure what went wrong here.
