I need a book that will cover everything from flowers to herbs. It is time to start. And i need a book that covers all the information. Can any one help? There are many, many garden books, and that is wonderful. However, the strong basis for any plant book library, and the most useful is: SUNSET WESTERN GARDEN BOOK. This book is affordable, easy to understand, provides a wealth of useful information, and is regularly updated, even including newly-discovered plants. This is the book my Horticultural college professors recommended, and it is truly invaluable. Even my supervisor at the university botanic garden, who has multiple degrees in plant science, regularly references Sunset Western Garden Book. I sincerely hope this information helps. PAMELA J.

Hello. I am a Certified Master Gardener. Horticulture was my major in college, and I work as a volunteer at my local university botanic gardens. There are many, many garden books, and that is wonderful. However, the strong basis for any plant book library, and the most useful is: SUNSET WESTERN GARDEN BOOK. This book is affordable, easy to understand, provides a wealth of useful information, and is regularly updated, even including newly-discovered plants.

Even my supervisor at the university botanic garden, who has multiple degrees in plant science, regularly references Sunset Western Garden Book. I sincerely hope this information helps. PAMELA J.

If you live in Britain I recommend Alan Titchmarsh’s The Complete How to be a Gardener. If you don’t, or live in a similar climate (i.e., Pacific Northwest) it is still a good read. Post a comment
