A to Z Gardening for Beginners
Gardening might seem like an easy thing to do. Buy a plant, dig a hole in the ground, drop the plant in it, and cover it up waiting for blooms to suddenly appear. If only it were that simple. The overall idea of gardening is basic, but gardening is very intricate. It’s not as simple as just buying a plant and planting it. Gardening involves pest control, weeding, knowing the needs of each plant, soil types, etc. But if you’ve just started to become interested in gardening, there’s a lot to know. It can be easy to get excited and buy everything you see garden related, but take it slow. This guide will help you know all the basics of gardening. Everything from types of gardens, how much sunlight plants need, companion planting, essential gardening tools to have, and much more. When you’re done reading, you’ll be fully prepared to create your garden and make it one of the best. The Benefits of Gardening So, you decided to give gardening a try. That’s great! Gardening has many benefits for your health. It can not only help to improve it, but it has the ability to reduce stress and anxiety and works to keep your mind active. It also good to help relax. Relax? Yes, gardening can lead to relaxation in many ways. One is that you’re outside and in nature. It’s been scientifically proven that being outside can help give you daily doses of Vitamin D, help improve your mood, and give you a better night’s sleep. The other way of relaxation is just that, sleep. Working in a garden can help give you a better’s night sleep. So, before you decide to take other means to fall asleep, try spending a day gardening instead. These benefits are just a sample of the happiness and fulfillment that gardening will give you.

Good Info
This book has good info about gardening, pollinators, companion planting, and basic tools needed when starting a garden.
I'm new to gardening, this will be my third year and I did start out small, mainly container, and when my family took an interest, they started giving me stuff, now I have several projects to complete.
This book is definitely worth the time it took to read, and if you are new to gardening or even not so new, you should take some time to read through it.
Reading is knowledge, so, sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Solid beginner book with nice tips
I choose this rating because the book is short but full of good information on how to get started, things like plant diseases, information on plant companions, tools you will need, insects that are helpful and harmful and a number of other things. I think it's a great book for someone new or even someone with a little bit of experience who want to expand their pool of knowledge.

A lot of useful information
Very good book for beginner. Covers most part of gardening. Some very useful information like fishing line fence to prevent deers. I wish I had read this book a few weeks earlier. That would save me a lot. However I minus one star because there is an incorrect information on fertilizer for tomato. The book says tomato needs nitrogen heavily, that’s incorrect, and would mislead the beginner. Other than that, most of the book is very nice.

First time gardener, now a Lisa Bond fan!
Good book for beginners. Language isn't dumbed down, enjoyable sense of humor and enough info without overwhelming the reader. Now have to wait for March (it's January now)

Good book for beginners
This was a really good gardening intro. However, the typos and some of the wording made it difficult to read. While it provides great info, it could have been more professionally written

Very basic
This book provides a very novice level basic guide to gardening. Easy to read, but no illustrations provided. I recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office for more specific step by step beginner gardening information.

For beginners = yes. A to Z = no way!!
This book is an introduction to gardening for people who are totally new to the idea. It gives great basic facts to the novice.
But it is just that: a beginner’s basic introduction.
