Indiana Gardener's Guide

by Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp, Tom Tyler

Gardening is now the favorite outdoor leisure activity in America. Homeowners realize the health benefits available from gardening and the potential increase in their home's property value. Regional gardening titles offer the most useful advice because they provide credible information on the plants that perform best in specific states. Gardeners want information they can trust and use successfully in their own gardens. The Arizona Gardener's Guide is a full-color plant selection resource guide written especially for Arizona gardeners. It includes the top 175 landscape plants as recommended by one of Arizona's most respected horticultural experts.

This is the revised guide with more photographs of the floral and shrubs on the actual page rather than the center fold collection.

Indiana Gardener's Guide is a wonderful, illustrated guide to the plants, shrubs and trees, including annuals and perennials, that grow best in the Indiana garden. There are planting, pruning as well as propagating tips for each variety.

Although this is written specifically for Indiana, I imagine it would work well for all gardens in zone 4B - 6.

Seems a decent reference book specific to growing conditions in Indiana. Not all the recommendations are natives, but many are.
