First, let me explain, my husband is the gardener, I am the book reader, so we really got together on this one.He moves the perennials and shrubs around and changes the garden plan so often that I wouldn't dare attempt to cross the garden at night without fear of running smack into a Burning Bush!The ultimate result of his long and dedicated devotion to the garden has produced some spectatular results and much can be attributed to this terrific book.First of all, it told him everything he was doing wrong, and his response to that was, "Oh my ..., I've been working on this for five years and made every mistake in the book!"Secondly, it told him how to do it right. The book covers absolutely everything from planning, choosing the proper plants for the proper location and soil, and how to create symmetry in your garden.The photography is beautifuland the encyclopedia of garden plants is worth its weight in gold!
Three cheers for Better Homes and Gardens for giving us this "can't do without it book." Every gardener, hobbyist or professional, will find something of value here, and hopefully, you will learn where to put the Burning Bush....before it goes into the ground.
