Reviews

Lovejoy, author of several other books, offers a yearlong course for intermediate gardeners. Organized by seasons (because that's how garden work is done, she says), the book gives instructions on such tasks as assessing a garden site, coaxing early blooms from spring shrubs, pruning, preparing beds and borders, applying spring feeding mulches, staking and layering plants, and composting. She introduces readers to some lesser-known but reliable plants and gives tips on creating long-lasting plant combinations. This informative and lavish book has 150 full-color photographs.
