Makes it easy
I have lots of gardening books, some of them are even useful. But this is the best I've found for stirring up confidence and enthusiasm. I just need to browse its pages for a few minutes and I want to go and pull on by gardening shoes and gloves. As a reference its not perfect but as an introduction and ideas crucible its great. And the two halves blend beautifully, you barely see the join. There is very little repetition.
Great reference book
As a beginner this book has everything I need to know. It is very straightforward with good accompanying pictures. I'm sure I will refer to this book many times in the coming years.
Excellent Book
Nice simple straightforward book that complements the series well - which is still being repeated on UK style gardening if you can catch it! Definitely a good book to get you started at gardening and sorting a weed from a flower!
