This was for my daughter, a new resident of Florida. She was very excited about the book and is looking forward to trying out many of the suggestions.

I found this book to be a complete disappointment. It was a surface discussion that never got into the variety of plants available for selection or suggestions for an appropriate method of determining the site location of plants for the central Florida area.
The publicity blurb on its description on Amazon promised much more.
