Notes: How to Use the GLPG is like no other garden book.  By referencing Gardenforms "USE CODES", a designer can easily look up specific plants for a specific purpose.  For Example:  If one is looking for a "Ground Cover", that is low-watering, can be planted on slopes to prevent erosion, fire and deer resistant; under (Chapter 6), Use Code "B-J-L-M", there are 9 Ground Covers that meet this specific design criteria.


Throughout the GLPG, there are over 900 Plants broken down further in specific categories: 160 Shade Tolerant Plants, 450 Low-Watering, 100 Fragrant Foliage, 150 Fragrant Flowers, 150 Season Changing Foliage Color, 360 plants for slopes and preventing erosion, 550 Fire Resistant Plants, 650 Deer Resistant Plants, 130 Espalier and over 160 Clipped Hedge Plants.
