Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-02 00:00:00 Joseph Nolting This book is intended for notice gardeners who, in the author's words, "have learned the basics and are ready to travel further down the garden path." It takes a seasonal approach -- starting in January with an assessment of an old or new garden site -- and progressing month by month with both suggestions for each season's garden tasks and many ideas for felicitous plantings to create a good balance of color, form, and texture through the year. The photos in this book, done by the author's husband, are just stunning. This places the book in my "inspirational gardening" category, but it also does such a solid job explaining garden fundamentals that it comes near an ideal for a gardening book.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-02 00:00:00 Melaniasab Sab The American Mixed Border: Gardens For All Seasons by Ann Lovejoy (MacMillan Publishing 1993) (635.963) is a fairly highbrow book on border gardening. The chapters are organized by the various elements of a border: trees, shrubs, perennials, biennials and annuals, vines, and groundcovers. The book focuses more on theory than on the actual "how to" of the matter. My rating: 4.5/10, finished 5/16/12.
