Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I love the For Dummies books and this one maintains their standard. Great info, easy to read and use as well as easy to understand.

⭐Very informative and easy to follow.

⭐Book is full of information about gardening. I am a novice gardener. I will definitely purchase other books from this company.

⭐Was not helpful.

⭐Great fundamentals of gardening – purchased for my mom who is trying to get into gardening and she said it was very helpful.

⭐I am horrible at landscaping/keeping up my yard and I was hoping this would help but it is more focused on other topics. It also using a lot of terminology that I am not familiar with… that’s why I bought the for dummies version! Other than that, it arrived on time and in perfect condition.

⭐So very glad for this book. I’m trying to make sure each year our garden does well, and this has been so easy to use and understand

⭐Great transaction…

⭐Though on the co.uk site, this is an American-biased book. Hence if you’re a U.K. gardener, all sorts of references within will be void. Should be made clearer – I gave this as a Christmas present and the recipient was very disappointed when leafing through to find the U.S. Basis for the book.

⭐Not enough picturesI love these Dummies books and have several – but unfortunately – I would have liked many many more pictures for the subject matter….

⭐Purchased as a gift, my friend loved it.

⭐Although I know a little bit about gardening you can never remember everything, this book is great, it explains how to do various things – seeding, taking cuttings, problems etc. I found found it very useful and would recommend this book to anyone who is not an expert

⭐A useful book
