>From The Critics
Library Journal
The authors say their book is for American gardeners who want maximum effect 
for minimum effort, yet discuss such things as double- and triple-digging 
the soil. The reader could glean the information to create a nice perennial 
flower garden but not an instant garden. The color photos included with the 
review galley are inspirational. Chapters cover design and planning, 
maintenance, and major perennial plants. There are some unusual ideas 
concerning color, music, and creating a symphony in the garden. There are 
lots of charts. A good planting guide, containing all the usual information, 
lists plants by genus name with the nice touch of a pronunciation guide. 
Recommended for organic gardening collections; landscape artists should also 
find it useful. Carole Ledford, Georgia Experiment Station Lib., Experiment
