This is a really cool book. The information is easy to understand and practical for the average gardener and the illustrations are amazing. It gives you the feeling you can grow anything anywhere.

This book is absolutely gorgeous, and it has excellent information. I give it four out of five because a lot of the information is not particularly applicable to my desert gardening situation, there were a couple of typos, and I couldn’t always tell which illustration went with which plant.

Didn’t read it cover to cover, but paged through and it looked very cool. Some stuff didn’t seem terribly applicable to my climate, but it looked like there was a lot of universal stuff, too.

Got it at the library for the pretty illustrations. Some useful tidbits but seems geared more toward the UK gardener.
