very helpful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I like that there is a picture of the plant on the same page as the description of the plant. I have used another Carolina gardening book that had all of the pictures in one place and the descriptions in another and that got to be a bit annoying. This book has a nice overview of the region's most popular plants. This is the best Carolina gardening reference book I have seen yet.
Great Book

A Must for NC gardeners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
For anyone who is interested in gardning in NC, this book is a must. Most gardinging books would only concentrate on how good the plant is. BUt this book also tells us some of the "problems" one might have with the plants and what kind of pests/diseases a plant might be susceptible to. I should have given 5-Stars for this book. The reason I did not give is the indexing is a bit confusing -- the botanical and common names are used in mixed mode. This is not a big problem though, once you get used to the book.Again, this book is a must for all gardeners in NC -- experience as well as novices.
Excellent book for North Carolina gardeners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book has been very helpful for me in choosing, planting and understanding how to take care of annuals, perennials, groundcovers, shrubs, trees, bulbs, vines and herbs that will grow well in North Carolina. The choices at a gardening center can be overwhelming, but Tony Bost's advice can help you focus on plantings that have a good chance to succeed in a N.C. garden. I especially like the great detail that goes into the exact way to plant your selection, and the maintenance of the plant, so that you know how often and with what to fertilize the plant, and how to water and prune it. Tony Bost has also included up to date information on new cultivars that are being developed and relies a lot on excellent research that is currently being done at the Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh.
