Practical Advice and Fun to Read,

This review is from: Pat Welsh's Southern California Gardening: A Month-by Month Guide (Paperback)
I was lucky to stumble across this book at a discount store at the Citadel Outlet Mall in Commerce (sadly, since closed). This is a great instructional book, or one just to peruse while relaxing in the garden. The month-by-month guide takes the mystery out of planning ahead - one can simply skip ahead to find out when this or that task should be done or the ideal time to purchase a particular plant. This book has paid for itself many times over.

A must for California Gardners,
By Deni Loubert (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pat Welsh's Southern California Gardening: A Month-by Month Guide (Paperback)
I love this book. I was checking it out of the library for information and decided I had to have it. If you are a beginner it speaks in clear understandable language. If you are experianced, it covers all aspects of gardening and in a clear organized manner that helps you plan your entire year. His check off lists are handy and his attitude is what makes this book so enjoyable. Buy one for yourself and one for a friend.

Pat Welsh's Southern California Gardening: A Month-By-Month,
By Jeanna Grabuskie (Corona, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pat Welsh's Southern California Gardening: A Month-by Month Guide (Paperback)
I am just beginning the adventure into the world of gardening. This is our first house and after two years my husband and I are finally installing our yards. I was looking for a definative book about how to garden in Southern California, Ms. Welsh's book more than fit the bill. Her book is full of gardening ideas and monthly schedules that spread the chores out over the 12 months of the year leaving a lot of time for enjoyment. As a novice, I now feel more confident cruising the nurseries and homecenters looking for the perfect plant because I have a better understanding of the maintenance and care needed.
