The Gardening Book for Ohio: Revised Edition (ISBN 1591860474)

Great book for Ohio gardeners:
Ohio is not the most hospitable place for gardening. With cold winters and hot often dry summers, gardening can be a balancing act. This book is a terrific guide for selecting and cultivating plants in this area. This book has helped me improve my black thumb to almost green. Recommended for all Ohio and surrounding areas.

An expert gardener right at your fingertips!:
If your grandma were an expert gardener, this is like having all her advice right in one place. I have used this inexpensive, thorough gardening book much more than my expensive hardcover gardening books. This book is great for a novice gardener, and also for more experienced gardeners. He gives a full 2-pages for each plant, telling where to plant, when to trim, when to plant, varieties/cultivars, and much more. He answers pretty much any question you could have about a certain plant. I take this with me when I'm shopping for my plants, because he tells you lots more than the plant tag will. I highly, highly recommend this book for anyone who likes to garden! Too bad he doesn't cover vegetables or herbs, though.

Great for any Ohio gardener.:
I have had this book for years, have loaned it so many times it's not funny! Finally, just started ordering several copies at a time to have on hand for gift giving. I have 16 large flower beds, and most of the plants ideas have come directly from the advice I have found in this book. These are also the plants I have the most success with, AND the ones asked most about when people come to visit my garden. Also, for the most part, these selections are relatively easy to find in our nursery's. (Seibentahaler's and Knollwoods are excellent places to look). I hope he continues his writings, and I will be ordering his new book also. Centerville, Ohio

Great Book For Ohio:
This is the book I go back to over and over again. It's organized, well written, and most of all, RIGHT. I've had it for a couple of years. When I picked it up again last night to see which birches will grow well in Ohio, I decided to write a review here on Amazon to encourage others to get this book, too. It's worth every penny.

Must Have!:
Being new to gardening, this book has been the most valuable tool. Every page has pictures of the plants that are being described and there are symbols to quickly identify plant properties. I would definitely recommend this book for everyone.
