I have created this web page to help steer you through the incredible amount of horticultural books that are available to you, to give you an idea of which books are worth purchasing, and which ones you are better off reading at your local library or bookstore for free. Remember, even the Gardening Guru admits that he does not know everything about gardening.
Life is a continual learning experience, and so it is with gardening.
As most of you know, I am an adjunct professor of horticulture at a local community college in New Jersey. From a purely teaching aspect, this has to be one of the best books to convey the design principles that so many other horticultural books overlook today. There seems to be a void between the technical explanation of proper design and the photographic explanation that visually shows you how these principles work. This book fills the void perfectly. As you read through each chapter, there are plenty of photographs to help explain what Piet has described.
