Rating: 4 / 5
Sorry to say, the book will not meet the needs of the average or above average gardener.
It is meant for a landscape architect. Almost nothing is applicable to gardens in the USA.

My husband and I decided to re-landscape and have been searching all over for a goo reference book for tropical plants. This is even better than I expected. It gives tips on garden types; it has a map in the back that breaks the planting zones down to a miniscule level and will reference it through the book. The back half lists different varieties of tropical plants, where they grow best and tips on how to grow, protect, and overwinter them. It has been a huge help in our planning!
