Georgia Getting Started Garden Guide: Grow The Best Flowers, Shrubs, Trees, Vines & Groundcovers (Garden Guides)

Written by two of Georgia's most highly respected gardening experts, Georgia Getting Started Garden Guide is a plant-recommendation guidebook geared exclusively toward gardeners located in the Peach State. Authors Erica Glasener and Walter Reeves combine their extensive gardening knowledge to recommend plants that will thrive in (or in spite of) Georgia's heat, humidity, clay soil, coastal areas, and other unique growing conditions. Together, their top plant picks guarantee success for the Georgia gardener and home landscaper. From soil and water to fertilization and pest management, Georgia Getting Started Guide addresses all the gardening topics of concern to Georgia gardeners. Featured plant categories discuss annuals, bulbs, ferns and groundcovers, ornamental grasses, perennials, roses, shrubs, trees, turfgrasses, and vines. Each plant is showcased with detailed photography; specific advice on how, when, and where to plant; growing tips, such as fertilization and watering requirements; and descriptions of routine care. Alongside these "nitty-gritty" aspects of planting and growing, Myers shares her inspiration for garden design, the various ways you can beautifully incorporate plants into your landscape, and her favorite cultivars and species. With proven, practical instructions presented through gorgeous imagery and adapted specially for the Georgian climate, Georgia Getting Started Garden Guide is your ticket to successful planting in the Empire State of the South.

A fantastic book that apparently covers every plant that grows in Georgia. So far it's been very useful and enlightening, especially since I just moved here from the North. Illustrations on every page. Highly recommended.

Lots of great information on different plants that grow in Georgia. Highly recommend for all Georgia gardeners, weather a beginner of a seasoned veteran, to use as a good reference guide.

This is a good informative book, for anyone in the southeast. I only wish her show was still on television.

I love this book. I wish all subsections were together by within the month heading and not broken up.

great book. describes flowers and shrubs in Georgia.
