Customer Reviews

Good for quick reference
This is an excellent book to stick in your purse to take to the nursery. It is decently detailed for the amount of space each plant is given (one page). The few tips are actually helpful (for beginners, at least!), and the pictures are nice and vivid. I especially appreciate the zone map because where I live is in a small blob of a different zone than most zone maps show.
