- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023I bought a new home in the woods and haven’t really gardened before. The previous owners already had a very impressive garden. Me being new to the scene, I wanted to learn as much as possible to keep up my gardens beautiful fresh and healthy. This book has everything this a first timer like me could need. From plans, designs, sowing, pruning etc. I was also excited about the fruit and vegetable section as I plan to grow my own. I definitely recommend the Complete Gardener’s Guide book. It just arrived today and I’ve been flipping through bunny earring pages all night. Excited to prunes my rose bushes tomorrow after reading the section on them.
