Just right...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gardening For Dummies, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I am a novice gardener who is trying to figure out how to maintain a well-landscaped property that I inherited. After the first couple of years of letting the place "rest on its laurels" (i.e., get by on its past grandeur and do nothing to maintain it except to water it every now and then, but otherwise neglecting it and letting it get weedy and rangy), I have finally tackled the project of educating myself about gardening and trying to restore some freshness and style to my garden. This book offers a very skillful overview of everything I need to know in order to take on this project. It gives an overview of pretty much every fundamental of gardening, giving enough explanation to help you understand the logic behind the "rules" of garden creation and maintenance, but without the kind of technical detail that would make it tedious or would glaze the eye of the beginner. I have found this an excellent "starter" book--gives the lay of the land, as it were, so that you can establish basic competence and understanding before you go onto more specialized knowledge. THANKS!

Darn good Book for the intended audience: those new to gardening. I have a huge backyard and needed some simple, straightforward advice on gardening- this fine tome provided it. If you are a professional horticulturalist perhaps you don't need it, but for the other 99.9% of humanity, this book provides the essentials. If I were a physicist, I wouldn't bother reviewing books on elementary mathematics to illustrate my relative excellence. Sheesh!

This review is from: Gardening For Dummies, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I don't know how it happened but I thought I had not inherited the green thumb that my parents and Grandparents all had. That is until I found this wonderful guide to beginners gardening and it answered all the questions or told me simply how to find out the answers. I believe my local nursery was also happy that I took time out from trying to do it on my own and read the book.My mother said that she even learned a few new things while glancing through. It is also a good brush up guide before the spring thaw.
