This isn’t really a book you read start thru. It is a flower reference book. It is great for identifying flowers. It has great ideas for planning a landscape. Yet I wanted more in caring for flowers as they have different needs. I was hoping to find all of this in one book. I didn’t find that here.
I was so impressed to find everything I needed to know about all sorts of bulbs, seeds and plants in one book. I was inspired and devoured the entire book in a weekend. Lots of pages bookmarked and ready for future gardening projects! It's good to have just one source that you can pull from instead of pulling up random online sites.
Planning a flower/plant landscape is super elusive to me and this book helped me make sense of where and how to begin and what I love about plants. Love it and still need to apply it but I'm certainly less anxious on organizing my landscape. I'd never heard of a cutting garden but knew I wanted one before reading this book and was glad it is an actual thing, so sensible to me!
