i have a little garden and i wanted to learn how to manage it. this book really helped me learn many things that i honestly didn't know before.( i have never gardened and usually had someone come in weekly to plant and clean it up) slowly i'm doing little thing the book suggests and i'm enjoying it.

Gardening Basics for Dummies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you're looking to start gardening or to update your current knowledge about gardening, this book is the place to start. Steve Frowine makes the gardening information accessible, practical and fun. Like all the ...for Dummies books, I particularly like the no-nonsense way he describes some fundamental gardening tasks like planting a tree or creating a flower bed. This book covers all the basics such as vegetable and fruit gardening, herb gardening, flower gardening, landscaping with trees and shrubs, growing bulbs, container gardening and even gardening projects with kids. But it's also good for a more experienced gardener. There's a detailed chapter on building and water gardens and raising fish and some quick, handy gardening projects to do.
