Format:Paperback
The book is almost entirely american based and consequently is difficult to relate to gardening in the UK. There are plenty of pictures to generate gardening ideas but the planting schemes are relatively basic. Reasonable buy but not particuarly useful for UK or European gardens

Not if you live in the tropics
10 July 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is not for someone living in Zones 8,9,10 of the U.S. It focuses on how to use non-tropical plants or tropical plants as annuals to acheive a tropical "look". Not good if you actually live in the tropics and want a guide to plants for your area and how to care for them.

Beautiful Pictures
6 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While the photographs in this book are attractive and plentiful, I was disappointed at the lack of in-depth information. The book was more of a general overview of possibilities. This would be a good book for beginning gardeners or those who wish merely an introduction to the subject.
It is possible that my expectations were set too high, as Ms. Brandies has authored two previous books that, in my opinion, no Florida gardener should be without - "The Florida Gardener's Book of Lists" and "Herbs and Spices for Florida Gardens: How to Grow and Enjoy Florida Plants With Special Uses."

Great buy for the Tropical Gardener
26 May 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're like me, you prefer beautiful tropical landscape images over reading text about gardens. This book does an excellent job of that, particularly for the price. I regularly purchase books on tropical gardening, and what I don't want is another listing of plants, I can get that from the mail order catalogues. I like to see images of tropical environments that I can consider recreating, or views that show good tropical garden designs of actual plants (not drawn images). For the money, this book is well worth it.
