All You Want To Know About Gardening

What is the most informative gardening/landscaping book?

As a MASTER GARDENER for the UNIV. of CALIF. COOP EXTENSION for over 15 years, I have had to teach about and answer questions from homeowners on all matters involving home and garden. Everything from plant identification, landscape care and design, soil & water conservation, integrated pest management, basic irrigation, insect control and identification, diagnosing plant problems and diseases, good bugs, bad bugs, what to grow and when to grow it, etc, etc, etc. There is but one book every master gardener has at his side 24/7. The homeowner’s best friend in the garden. The garden “BIBLE” for many gardeners! It is the only garden book you will ever need. But I can’t tell you because of spam. Just kidding. “SUNSET WESTERN GARDEN BOOK” !! (don’t let the “western” fool you. if it grows in new york city, it will tell you about it) Plant selections, including color pictures of OVER 8000 PLANTS, info you need to create and maintain a healthy garden, state by state resource directory, special effects in the garden and a glossary of gardening terms are but a few areas covered. everything from catching roof rats to attracting butterflys. you won’t find a better garden book anywhere. Retails for ’bout $35.00, but you’ll often find places like Home Depot, Target & Walmart putting it on sale for as low as $16.00. Think how many plants you could kill for $16.00? The price is worth every dime. Impress your neighbors with your garden smarts! Makes a great gift for Dad. Ah, next Father’s Day. Mom would love it for Christmas too. Hell, keep it for your own garden & let Mom & Dad buy their own copy. “SUNSET WESTERN GARDEN BOOK” I have often served as a plant Judge at the San Diego County Fair, and I couldn’t do without it! (yes, we have a county fair in San Diego. It’s in June)
