Want to make a beautiful garden in your front or backyard? This is the book for you! This book offers images and lists of everything you will need to create your own garden. I thought it was about a fruit and vegetable garden at first, but it covers water fountains, little ponds, flowers and everything else you need for some curb appeal.

Did you ever want to know how to begin your gardening adventure? What about just knowing what tools you will need? How about what type of fertilizer to use? You'll get that and MORE, and not to mention, handy photos of everything you need throughout the book. I have roses at my house currently and learned that they need to be fertilized every 2-6 weeks.,,, I had NO IDEA! This was a great book, even for an (self-proclaimed) experienced gardener, such as myself!

I requested this book as my daughter and son-in-law have just moved into a new build property with a mud and rubble garden and this book will be perfect for them as beginners. A lot of gardening books assume some knowledge and this doesn't which is why it is perfect for them. A lot of information and ideas to get them started. It would, by no means, suit everyone for various reasons but I am going to suggest they download this book.

Thank you to netgalley and publisher for the drc

I found this book to be a quick and interesting read. Not quite what I thought it would be, I expected a little more about how to plant herbs/veggies. But still, it was quite interesting with lots about tools/seasons and much more.

I really enjoyed the beautiful and helpful photographs that depicted the tools needed for successful gardening and what a garden should look like. This is a beginners book, so it tells what kind of fertilizer to use, what pruning looks like, and how to know what type of drainage your garden needs.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I enjoyed this gardening book as it is perfect for those new to gardening and to those itching to garden. The book starts by introducing the essential tools needed to garden , the key words one needs to know and the book has exceptional imagery. Informative , well written , simplified and just a delight to read.

This was a great very basic, beginners book on gardening. It’s pretty short, but covers quite a bit in shallow detail. I appreciated the pages on garden design. If you know zero about gardening, for the price, this is worth it.

This is such a short and interesting read on basically how to garden for dummies without making someone who basically has a black thumb, like me, feel dumb 😂

I love how informative the content is and provides information to those who really do need help with plants.

I understood the difference between annual and perennial plants (although I still feel like it should be switched because the definitions make ZERO SENSE), the best garden tools, and also the best time/crash course to starting a garden.
