From the Author
Take this reference guide with you when shopping for plants!
This book was written from my personal gardening journals of what really grows and what doesn’t in our regional gardens. Bulbs and perennials are grouped into the season in which they bloom, by size, and by color. As a certified master gardener and garden designer, I wrote this book because I couldn’t buy it. Use this book as a practical, over-the-fence, down-and-dirty, money-saving reference guide when buying new flowering plants and adding new perennial gardens. Happy Gardening!
