Review & Description
Shelley Goldbloom has exhaustively harvested the knowledge of overtwo hundred horticulturists, botanist, landscape designers, gardeners, and many others who have made the understanding of climate, soil, vegetation, or gardening in every stage both their profession and their passion. While not foolproof, the advice in this book is sound and addresses just about every problem you might encounter in your own gardening efforts. With entire chapters devoted to such matters as soil preparation, dealing with insect and animal invasions, watering, and the selection of the right plants and trees to suit your environment, this book is a wealth of tips and tricks to help your gardens and houseplants thrive. Mixed among the sage advice in this book are quotes, facts, and bits of philosophy set off to catch the reader's eye, making this book both informative and entertaining. Writing with wry humor and the in-depth understanding of one who's been "in the trenches" with her hoe and spade, the author of this endlessly informative guide takes a look at virtually every aspect of cultivating your garden. From planning and designing to keeping the environment in mind, every practical consideration is discussed in clear and easy-to-understand language. Line drawings. Read more
