Reviews

"Barbara Damrosch delivers the goods."--Chicago Tribune "Best of the crop."--House Beautiful "Barbara Damrosch's writing has the snap of a good snowpea and the spice of an old rose."--The Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer "Covers just about everything you could think of and then some." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "An extraordinarily comprehensive guide." -- The San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle "Takes your soaring visions of garden splendor and plants them firmly in the ground."--The Toronto Star

Beginning gardeners can be overwhelmed by the vast amount of printed information available. Damrosch offers a comprehensive book for the new gardener that clearly explains the basics of garden planning, plant care, and equipment. Detailed chapters on the different categories of plants--annuals, perennials, vegetables, fruits, lawns, shrubs, roses, vines, trees, wildflowers, and even house plants--give general advice on how to use and care for these varieties. A valuable book for public libraries.-- Peter C. Leonard, Mt. Lebanon P.L., Pa.
