Best gardening guide I have seen for the beginning gardener!
The "Better Homes And Gardens Complete Guide To Flower Gardening" is the most comprehensive guide I have come across for the novice or experienced gardener. The book is organized so that you can fully understand the different types of flowers needed for the type of soil, light, and moisture conditions in your yard. It explains in detail the different styles of gardens, so that you may design your garden according to the many landscape examples provided in the book, or use the knowledge learned from the book to design your own. My favorite section of the book is the organized catalog of the different types of flowers and grasses, detailing their growth patterns and environmental needs, as well as a color picture of each plant. Without this book my yard would still be a vast wasteland of crabgrass and wild violets and clover! Needless to say, I LOVE THIS BOOK! Now when I walk out my door, I can stop and smell the roses!

This is a very complete guide to flower gardening in general
A "must have" gardening book. If flower gardening is your thing, you will definitely benifite from the information contained in his book. Full color photos and complete descriptions coupled with well written-easy to understand-growing tips,make this an excelent referance book. I use mine all the time.

A MUST HAVE for the serious home gardener
The most complete and informative source for selecting, designing and cultivating a gorgeous flower garden. I keep buying new books--but keep going back to this one for inspiration.
