Cheryl Merser guides beginners through the necessary steps for starting and maintaining a beautiful ornamental garden.
In a somewhat humorous style, Merser takes the reader through the pitfalls of beginner gardening. The author, who has what she calls "a now-pretty-good garden," discusses such basics as attitude (laissez-faire), aims (think small), tools (hands are the primary tools), terms (beds vs. borders, for example), planning, planting, and tending a garden (the last divided into the four seasons). A "Plants at a Glance" glossary reviews all 150 plants mentioned in the book, giving information on each plant's plusses and minuses, genus, species, common name(s), pronunciation, and color, shape, and size, as well as special planting and maintenance notes. George Cohen
