Bought this book in 2012 to replace my older one that I had given to my daughter in law.

I have read it once and read pieces of it hundreds of times.

One of the best for Canadians who don’t live in Vancouver

One of the better overall reference gardening books for beginner gardeners I've seen.

Great reference book with lots of colourful photos for inspiration.

I read the third edition and it is a goldmine of tips, tricks and plants that will grow here. Will be buying a copy as everytime I read through my library copy I found something else useful.

Great for a beginner gardener but there are still a few tidbits for gardeners who have been gardening awhile as well. I skimmed through most of it because it was a lot of stuff I have already learned myself over the years but I wish i had a book like this year's ago. :)

I wish it told you which plants were used in the photos.
