All in one
I was impressed with the amount of good information in this book if you are a novice gardener or more experienced. It gives measurements of products to buy, gardening basics, design, flowers, perennials, annuals, bulbs, and vegetables and herbs just to name the chapters. It contains all the information you would need. In fact, I was so impressed with this book that I ordered it for the library I work at.

What More Did I Need to Know? Plenty!
Whether you have just begun breaking ground in your new garden and have no green thumb of which to speak or you are curious about expanding your knowledge, this book has loads of information and easy-to-follow guidelines.
Here you can learn about annuals, perennials, grasses, you can learn how to build a retaining wall, learn all about vegetable gardens, learn about sun and shade plants and flowers, etc. I was very pleased with this book, and I use it as a reference guide.

Good general reference
Good overall introduction, with coverage of a various topics. Would be nice to have more images and particular zone information.
Overall, a very good reference.

Focused on flowers
I got this book as a gift, and it is good. However, how it says "7 books in 1" on the cover, 6 of these are about landscaping and different types of flowers, only 1 is devoted to vegetables and herbs, which was what I was looking for. It looks great for a flower gardener / hobby landscaper though.

More information about gardening than I even knew existed!
First of all, I am a true "gardening dummy".I am trying my hand with gardening for the first time in my life.I bought this book shortly after buying my first house (which came with a yard!)I have always loved the idea of growing lovely plants but have never really tried to do much gardening before.The thing that I really like about this book is that it touches so many subjects!For example, at first, I was reading about general information, plants, soil types, vegetable gardening, etc. but I have found that as I try to grow things in my yard, and a question or problem arises, I can usually find an explanation/solution in this book!It's not super-technical but it does a great job of explaining things to true gardening dummies! ...
