The First-Time Gardener: Growing Plants and Flowers: All the know-how you need to plant and tend outdoor areas using eco-friendly methods (Volume 2)

The First-Time Gardener is an extremely helpful book! It is very well written and easy to navigate. The photographs, diagrams, and other graphic features are very informative. I absolutely love learning from a horticulturist and a science teacher, as they have amazing insight to offer. We recently bought a new house with a yard filled with plants, flowers, and trees that I was unsure how to care for effectively, and this book has been a tremendous help. I highly recommend it to first-time gardeners and experienced gardeners as well!

Written well and fun to read and dream about my garden to be

No matter how many or few years you have kept a garden, don’t miss the McManus’ voices of encouragement and gentle direction. Their calm beckoning to grow in garden know-how is a balm to all gardeners at every level of experience. They introduce the basics, fundamental skills we all return to throughout the seasons, and guide us in garden planning, all the while working as an endearing husband-and-wife team. Whether you are ready to dig in for the first time, to reassess your garden, to change-up plant design or garden care strategies, The First-Time Gardener is an inspiring read to help you find your way.

This is a really comprehensive guide and well organized. It has been super helpful as we've started our garden as well as landscaping projects. The pictures are great and step by step instructions/tips make it a really useful tool. I'm sure we will refer back to it regularly.

Easy to read and lots of information to use
