Summary: Most complete book on Florida plants
Review: I bought this book recently along with Pamela's first book "Easy Gardens for South Florida" and between the two, I feel completely confident in helping my father design his garden in Englewood. I plan to move to Charlotte county later this year and begin my career as a full-time landscape designer and these two books give me the information I need to make intelligent choices on plant material.

Summary: Beautiful and incredibly helpful
Review: I found this book to be very useful in helping me to improve my butterfly garden in the Ft. Myers area. The author has used gorgeous pictures that allowed me to determine whether the specific plants she recommended would be appropriate to my garden and where they should be planted.The book has categories such as blooming season, planting tips, size and dimensions of specific plants, possible pest problems and much more which I found very useful. The author's previous book, Easy Gardens for South Florida became a "bible" for me as a newcomer to Florida gardening. The combination of both of these books is allowing me to create a garden that is the "wonder" of our neighborhood and a place of great peace and satisfaction for me. I would highly recommend these books for anyone who wants to plant successfully and with beauty, anywhere in Florida.

Summary: dont buy this book
Review: i got this book for xmas and was very happy until i started to read it. this book is useless except for some very good pictures of the plants, names of the plants and some very basic info on care(this plant likes shade or sun.) one example is they give the exact same advice on how to fertilize almost every plant. everyone knows different plants like different fertilizers. the advice on how to landscape is good if you like the way planned communities and supermarkets are landscaped. if you want something that looks tropical or unique this book is not for you. there are other books out there that are much better and cheaper.

Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: This book is great. Easy to read and understand, many pictures, author lists good and bad plants, saves you tons of money in deciding what to purchase. I have owned this book a few months and have gone back to it dozens of times for reference.
