Helpful with herbs, especially.

Beautiful photos and lots of good advice for mixing edibles in with ornamentals (and vice versa). I do wish that the garden plans were actually photographed instead of illustrated, because I want to see what they really would look like in real life.

Very helpful information with great tips accompanying each plant suggestion. My only wish is that there were planting diagrams/layout accompanying each section.

I loved the ideas for mixing planting a of herbs, flowers and vegetables. They are all beautiful, why not bring them together?

I really enjoyed learning about how to grow edibles and ornamentals in the same beds so beautifully. It is a very inspiring book - esp. the pictures. :)

I am in love with this book! Who knew putting fruits and veggies into your garden beds would look so pretty, though my attempt at it probably won't be quite as successful.
