Format:Paperback
This book has been a great source of information in selecting flowering plants for my garden. As far as I am concerned, it is a 'must' if you want to avoid planting plants that are unsuitable for your garden's soil pH and type, climate limitations, aspect, etc. Even skimming through the pages has brought unknown plants to my attention and thus prompted me to purchase seeds of these, thus introducing a continual expanded variety of flowers within my garden. The information keeps me on the right course in the care of my plants, yet at the same time allowing room for risk taking which often pays off. The format of the book is easily followed and the layout simple and uncluttered. Excellent book! - one which will be used over and over again till it falls to pieces, then I will just buy a new one of the same!

The Flower Expert 28 Aug 2008
By R. L. Judd TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
A great book to have with you in the garden if unsure of any plants,
Contains all the information on garden flowers/ soils and pests and there prefered growing enviroment.
What I have found is that many glossy papers advertise flowers and they look great but after a quick read through of this book it becomes clear that they wouldnt be ideal for my garden or that they need a lot of TLC.
A lot of information in a very clear format.
