Summary: Get the information that your after!
Review: I have been trying to get an idea of what long-lived, pest-free tree options I have in Central Florida and this is the only book I've found yet that tells me. I have nearly seven "Florida" gardening books and this is the one I always turn to first. For instance, just today I had a semi-shady, dry spot I wanted a fragrant blue-flowering vine in. I found exactly what I needed within minutes. Most of gardening is finding the right kind of plant to thrive in your chosen space. This book gives you the information that you need. It answers all the little particulars to find you the right plant. (For instance, is it going to look dead and disgusting in the winter, or stay leafy) Extremely recommended.

Summary: Great Book but....
Review: I think this is a top notch book for any gardener...but...It needs pictures! I am new to Florida and very interested in gardening, I know a lot of the flowers, but not all of them. And as far knowing trees or shrubs I am lost. It is a very descriptive book, with plenty of advice from the authors. Just no pictures! I highly recommend this though for in depth information on plants that will grow.

Summary: Handy Reference
Review: This small book can save you hours and hours of research and reading. Everything neatly categorized into meaningful lists. Examples:shrubs with fragrant flowers, nightbloomers, vines that withstand drought. Hundreds of lists in categories that relate to specific needs or desires on the part of Florida gardeners. I got it from the library and just had to order my own copy from Amazon. Highly recommended.

Summary: EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW...
Review: We love lists and, as a gardener, this is THE book for Florida gardeners! It has everything nicely categorized, wonderfully organized and understandable ... by the novice, newbie to Florida as well as an experienced Florida gardener. OK, it's not in depth, not really a cultural guide for specific plants but wow, the information!! Shady spot? Wet spot? Ground covers? It's all there and more. A 'must have' to point you in the right directions.
