Title: The Southern Living Garden Book by Steve Bender, John A. Floyd ISBN: 0848720237 Publisher: Leisure Arts Pub. Date: March, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.62
Rating: 5
Summary: Must-have for Landscape Architects (especially students)
Comment: This is the most complete resource I have found, covering annuals and perennials, trees and shrubs, grasses and ferns, all in one easy-to-handle volume. Most plant books are huge, heavy hardbacks difficult to carry in a backpack and only address one subject. This is my bible for planting design, as the sections in the front of the book on "Plants for Shade", "Drought-Tolerant Plants", etc. are very helpful in reminding me what plants to use where. However, this book might not be very helpful to amateur gardeners whose knowledge of plants may be limited, as it does not offer suggestions of attractive and successful plant combinations. Also, I wish that Southern Living would publish an updated addition with more recent varieties of plants.

Summary: Landscape Architect loves it
Comment: I have many garden books, but none is as complete for southern gardeners. This book is more than just an overview. It does a great job of giving the different characteristics of the many varieties of each plant listing. Very up to date. Useful for professionals and weekend gardeners.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good reference guide
Comment: I use this book as a reference guide when deciding what new plants to buy. I would have given it five stars, except the book does not have a lot of information and recommendations on techniques for gardening in the south. However, the alphabetical reference section on plants is great.
