My family just recently moved to Texas from the Northwest and had no idea where to start with my gardens. This book helped us revamp our dead lawn into a beautiful one that the neighbors are jealous of. We learned how to care for our lawn and flowers month by month. Very basic book for beginners and novices alike.

Im a no non-sense girl and hate having to read through 3 chapters of a gardening book for it to give me 3 sentences of when I should/should not plant something. This book is great. It gives some helpful gardening tips as well as easy to find time of the year planting guides. I can now turn to the time of year I want and find out everything I need to do to my yard and get it done quickly!

Very general information. Good if you are just looking for a quick reference but not if you are really into gardening. If you have an above average intrest in gardening you will already know the information in this book. It is nice to have everything laid out monthly but the 10 chapters are separated by area or type of plants so that you have to look 10 different places to see all the info for that month. The information is straight forward and easy to understand but too basic for me.

I bought this book for my son. He recently got married and he and his wife are now the proud owners of a new home in the area. Although he thought he knew how to maintain a yard, he quickly realized he didn’t have a clue. He knew his lawn needed to be mowed, that the grass needed to be fed and watered, and that his wife wanted some flowers, shrubs and trees planted, but that was just about it. What he needed was an easy, step-by-step book explaining not only what needed to be done but when it needed to be accomplished as well…and this book says it all. He now knows what he needs to do to have a beautiful lawn and garden, what items should be done each month, what plants work best in our area, and how to go about doing it all.
Maintaining a yard can be an overwhelming experience for us all, but when the process is explained in detail month-by-month, as it is in Dale Groom’s book, it’s much easier to comprehend.
