Mother Earth's Garden

I recently had the opportunity to take a look at Reader’s Digest All New Illustrated Guide To Gardening. I have to say, it is a fabulous gardener’s resource! The new revised and updated version is all organic!

This book is definitely an all inclusive how to guide for gardeners. From planting to pruning, and dividing perennials, there are step by step instructions for most of your gardening questions.

The guide includes a fabulous listing of all types of plants, shrubs, and trees. If it grows it’s probably listed. It’s loaded with tips, tricks, and fabulous illustrations.

There are sections on wildlife gardening, rain gardens, Xeriscaping, lawns, and the garden design process. Wow!

This practical guide is a refreshing gardening sourcebook that features:
* All-new 2,500 full-color stunning photographs and 800 full-color practical step- by-step diagrams and illustrations
* An extensive plant directory of more than 700 plants—plus hundreds of new plant varieties—listed by common and botanical names
* New information on eco-friendly gardening—including recipes for non-toxic fertilizer and disease & pest controls—as well as recommendations for planting to attract hummingbirds or repel deer
* Over 200 pages of charts that provide easy-to-access information on the latest trends in plants, problem-solving tips, new hardiness zone maps, and more
* All-new organic garden guidance—how to garden safely without nasty chemicals, from planting and fertilizing to pest control
* Directions for specialized and trustworthy gardening websites where gardeners can get additional information
* Comprehensive index that features cross-referenced common and botanical names for absolute accuracy

Did I tell you this is a fabulous resource for gardeners? I was totally impressed when I received this book. I like to think I know a bit about gardening, but I’ve still learned a few things just browsing through.

The All New Illustrated Guide To Gardening is available at Amazon, and at many other bookstores and garden centers.
