I’m new to gardening after entering retirement. My son gave me this book as a gift, and I’ve found it invaluable. You can teach an old dog new tricks…

Very informative and precise. Not all inclusive obviously, you can’t put EVERY plant in a book, but for the most part incredibly useful.

This has been advertised as “gone organic”. I’ts exactly the same, even pictures/sketches as the original, except for a very small section on beneficial insects in the back, a few of the more dangerous chemicals are deleted, and the whole houseplant section is gone. I have the old version, and I like it much better. If you have the old one, keep it. The “upgrade” is not worth the money. You’d be better off getting a “companion” book to go along with the original, such as Organic Gardening by Geoff Hamilton, which also has beautiful real photographs.

Everything you need to know about gardening. A great reference for the beginner. Would make a nice housewarming gift. Excellent price on Amazon.

Great book for vegetables, trees, bushes, flowers, etc. The sections on diseases and pests were extremely beneficial in detecting what was going wrong in my yard. My only complaint was that some of the pictures were in black and white and I prefer color.
