I bought this book when I first started my perennial garden, never having gardened before. It guided me in soil preparation, siting, and plant selection in those early days, and it has continued to be a reference tool ever since. If you’re just starting out, buy this along with Maconovich’s Caring For Perennials and you won’t need a single other book. If you’re a seasoned gardener, my advice is still the same!

Wow – thanks so much, Pat! Which book are you referring to – The Perennial Care Manual?

Nan your books are the best gardening books and have been so inspiring to me! I have always oohhed and awed over gardens at conservatories and botanical gardens. My first attempt at gardening has only been 2 years and with your inspiring photos and advice now my garden is getting oohed and awed by others! thanks!

Hi there, Mimi! How great that you found your way here. Thanks ever so much for your lovely comment. I wish you loads of happiness as your garden grows.

Aww!! Thank you!! I came on here just to see if you had replied, I’m super excited to see your next entry! I will definitely be buying your books as well!

After nearly two weeks of rain, I am getting outside to try and get some gardening in. I sure hope I do it justice! I think I’ll be removing the Jacob’s Ladder and Brunnera (to another spot, since they are so small). I picked up the Ajuga this morning and of course ended up w/ several Jeepers Creepers (can’t recall which ones but I will post later). I wish there was a way I could show you pictures of what I’m working on! Thank you again!

Think about starting a blog of your own, Teshia. It’s a fantastic way to keep a visual record of your projects and progress!
