I really needed a book like this

I really needed a book like this. I love to have flowers all around but I don't have a green thumb and I need help! I don't want to keep killing my plants and flowers. This book is full of useful information for growing and bulbing your flowers.

Very practical

The book begins with a practical discussion of garden design and explains how the bed geometry and choice of plants will determine the maintenance required to keep the garden in top condition. As a sometimes trial-and-error gardener I must confess I often choose the plant based on the bloom and have introduced several demanding species into my garden space. From soil preparation to dividing and pruning, The Well-Tended Perennial Garden takes the reader through the steps of successful perennial gardening.

Good one

I listen to this audible to choose plants for a new area in our yard. It helped me to choose for sun or shade, color, and size to fit my space. It was informative and helpful. I changed some of my original choices because of the info in this book.

This audible helps me a lot

I am working on improving my green thumb and know quite a bit about annual plants, but do not know much about perennial gardening. I didn’t know that there were so many different kinds of perennial plants. This audible helps me a lot.

Amazing.

There are perennials for vegetables, flowers, grasses, shrubs, foliage, bulbs, herbs, fruits, and berries, etc. For all of these, the author did a great job addressing what they are and how to plant them. Amazing.

Amazing

Now that I finally have the time to start gardening, I realized that I needed more help than I thought. I was really interested in perennials because I had heard a lot of good things about year-round plants from others who were also busy during the year.

I appreciate the hard work of the author.

I'm new to gardening and the unbelievable number of choices in perennial plants can be overwhelming! I started by picking plants I liked, but many didn't return the following year. I now use this book as a resource to learn about whether the type of plant I'm considering will do well where I have the space to put it, and I'm sure this book has saved me time, money, and feelings of frustration. I appreciate the hard work of the author.
