Essential Plants for Small Gardens

Before starting my garden, I reviewed several books at the library. They were hard to follow and did not keep my attention, so I started gardening on my own, hit or miss. When I got my hands on Sue Fisher's book I could not put it down. The information is presented so clear and logical as if she is talking directly with you one-on-one.You can learn the basics of everything or you can explore details of specific interests such as using color to create the illusion of a larger garden, planting in containers or planting in drought prone climates. Within the plant directory and the pictures throughout the book every plant is listed with both its technical and common name.This book is excellent and easy to follow. The photographs and sketches are tremendously helpful.
