Each method is explained clearly and simply, avoiding technical terms, and is illustrated using step-by-step sequences.

If you don't know what plants to buy, this book might help you. If you for example want pink flowers in spring, just find the right section and there will be plenty of suggestions.
The method of arranging the plants by flower colour and season of interest is all right in many circumstances, but if you know the plant-family and not when it flowers it can be troublesome to find the right plant.
