Customer Reviews

Needs better zone information
The book has good photos and descriptions for each plant but it needs better zoning information. There is a chart in the front for zone hardiness by temperature, but the plant descriptions use numbers and there is no reference to the number system used. This book does claim to be for beginners. Having just moved to OK and being unfamiliar with the zones this would be very helpful.
Oklahoma Gardeners Guide by Steve Dobbs is a great book!

The Best
This book is most informative and educational for garden plants in Oklahoma. It gave me the best ideas for placement in the garden of which I knew nothing before. I think it is a must. Thanks Steve

Good book
Gave me a lot of ideas. I've only been in Ok. a few years (from Florida). I Especially liked learning which plants will do well where in Oklahoma. Good photos.
