A fantastic book for aspiring garderners and those who would enjoy more information on how to garden best in the state of California! Has wonderful guides for pest management, water monitoring, ideal soil composition, composting, and identification systems for plants and common necessities. A wonderul read :)

A wonderful resource for the home gardener. Chapters on soil science, fertilizer, vegetable gardening, garden pests, landscape plants and more. This is a reference work packed with University of California research based recommendations. (I read most of it while training to become a Master Gardener.)

This handbook is the backyard gardener's Bible! It has everything from grafting trees to diagnosing plant problems. It breaks down complex gardening concepts into layman's terms and includes tons of color photos and diagrams. No Western Gardener should be without it!
