Best Garden Color for Florida

Great for colour pictures, and explanations. Much better than two other books I ordered as we are planning shrubs for our new house. Only 2 downsides, we reside in Zone 9 and only a few of the plants (less than a third could be used in our area. Plus warnings of "not tried further north of zone 10" however on collective pictures later on certain plants can be used between zone 8 to 11!! Second downside alot of the best plants are refered to but information was in the previous book, which I was reluctant to get as we reside in Central Florida and it is for South Florida, so I did not expect many plants to be applicable in there for us. Ms Crawford mentions in the text she has a new book coming out which will cover the whole of Florida, which I have looked high and low for, however it appears not to be? Shame.

I have bought several southern gardening books most a waste of my money and time reading through them but this one is a winner and after reading the reviews for the companion books for south Florida i bought the one for containers and the other one for Florida gardening don't confuse the one for gardening in the south that is NOT for Florida. i have bought and killed hundreds of dollars in plants these books are well worth the price if it was just to save one or two plants. I have struggled along for years and didn't know these books were available until i started digging in the reviews and read about someone buying a Pamela Crawford book for south Florida gardening and these are it , I'm cleaning out all the other books that are for southern gardening which haven't helped me at all for growing in zone 9-10. thanks Pamela keep writing and testing plants!

Exceeded expectations - for all intents and purposes new.Well done!

This book is fantastic if you live in the south (I'm in Florida). It is truly one of the best books on gardening and landscaping I have every seen. The only other gardening and landscaping book that rivals this one is called "Easy Gardens for South Florida" also by Pamela Crawford. I love these books so much I have been giving them as gifts for years and now you can find them at a much lower price.

One of the best garden books I own. Moved from Michigan to Florida. So now I have to learn all about Florida's seasons and plant names. This book makes it really easy to do that. It has pictures of all of the plants, how tall and wide they will grow and when they will flower. Great tool to help you plan your plant beds. Highly recommend this book.

This book proves to be invaluable as I'm re-doing some neglected garden beds for a new-to-me home. The book is well organized and the information is really valuable regarding height, light and water requirements, and color combos.

After admiring a neighbors yard in SW Florida she let me read her copies of Pamela Crawford's books ... she claims they are the reason for her success.I had to have my own copy and plan on adding a few other of Pamela's books for the Florida gardener to my collection. This author knows her stuff.Great photo's and lots of simple down to earth advice. Worth every penny. Very happy with this book. Enough said. : )

As an avid gardener of many years, I read the book from cover to cover the first day and have since gone back to use it as a research tool. It is plain and simple and packed with helpful info. I thought I had a pretty nice flower garden but after reading ...decided that my garden looked like the before photos...so I went out, bought more plants and redesigned my garden!
