[.ca] Easy Gardens for South Florida (ISBN 0971222002)

The best S Fl garden book ever.:
I love my yard and this book is a practical blessing for S. Florida gardeners. Takes the guess work out. Inspirational as well as educational even for an "old hand". Have now bought 3 copies as gifts for family and friends - so they don't have to borrow mine.

The IDEAL Garden Book for S. Florida:
Easy to read, easy to use book. Excellent photos of plants with critical information (light, water, pests, etc.) clearly listed in side margins. Especially liked the author's editorial comments, not just the usual dry descriptions. Also enjoyed lists and photos of plants to use together. EXCELLENT reference section with thumbnail photos for plants to use in sun, partial sun, partial shade, full shade, classed by size (height). I own quite a few gardening books and this one is the crown jewel!

THE BEST FLORIDA GARDEN BOOK IN THE WORLD!:
I love plants and gardens! I never knew how to create a garden that would last and look great! This book has wonderful photos and is VERY easy to read and plan with. YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS ONE!

Excellent text, but photos not so good:
The writing in this book was very good, and I especially liked that the author had personally tested the plants for this difficult climate. But, unfortunately many of the photos were blurry and unprofessional looking. Since the photos are always a favorite part for me of any plant book this did detract from an otherwise very good book. I will look for her next book Best Color Garden for Florida in a bookstore before buying so I can see that the photos don't have the same poor quality.

Excellent book for the beginning gardener:
This book is thoughtfully written and is so easy to use as a reference. I was able to design and plant a gorgeous, hearty garden with the ideal plants for our hot, sunny yard. I highly recommend this book!!!
