This is a very complete gardening book: from landscaping, to gardening, to planning a herb garden or organising your outdoors furniture, etc, etc, etc. Pretty useful!
Fantastic book! I had borrowed this book from a friend but soon realised I needed to own a copy to refer to at all times.
With this book along with the internet, I don't think I need more!

This is a graet book with lots of advice. It would not be good for those who are interested in every type of plant and its latin name. What is great about it is that it come up with lots of ideas for the garden, all of which are written in english, as opposed to many of the latin conundrums. I was bought is as a present and though it was great.
Listmania!
