I don't cover gardening or gardening design (my thumb has only the smallest hint of green), but I know that many of my visitors and customers love gardening. So here are some gardening books that have helped me, and that have been recommended to me by others. If you know of a good one, please tell me about it and win an extra chance in the monthly drawing!

New Complete Guide to Gardening -  Better Homes and Gardens editors
If you're in the market for an all-around garden guide to get you primed for the planting season, this
beautiful, well-organized book will meet all your needs. The cover's floral effusion will brighten your
coffee table, and inside you'll find what you need to get started or to grow in your gardening. A guide
should be quick and easy to use, and this one is: bold text is sprinkled throughout the index, helping you
find your desired topic, and within the chapters, section headings jump right out.
The best thing about New Complete Guide to Gardening is the inclusion of up-to-date research on
gardening techniques, lawn and plant care, and landscape plants. The basics of landscaping, use of
plants, and color design lead into a chapter on special gardens, like woodland or wildflower, and yard
solutions, such as water conservation, privacy, or turning a hill into a garden. A complete sectional
encyclopedia for each plant type features not-too-small color pictures. The importance of healthy soil
and its maintenance is becoming more widely recognized, and this guide will acquaint you with the
fundamentals, including the benefits of organic fertilizers and composting. The proper selection, use,
and maintenance of gardening tools is often neglected by the beginning gardener, so if you've got sticky
pruners or rusty spades, check out the "Tools" chapter. Finally, a word of warning--this book will have
you salivating for spring! --Molly McElroy editor (Hardcover)
