CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
The most helpful gardening book I've ever seen -
The way this book is layed out is great and makes it easy to find the info you are specifically looking for quickly. It uses both common and scientific (Latin?) names, which is a good feature in my book (no pun intended!) It has a very concise section on when & what to deadhead, and what to cut down at the end of the season and what not to (and why). Also covers the usual - bed prep, plant division, diseases & pests, etc. but in a very common sense way that makes you feel like you can't go wrong as long as you have this book to reference. I have seen this book recommended by many people on The Garden Web site, so I was confident in buying it but it is even better than I anticipated.

Boils It All Down and Makes It Easy -
It's been a long time since I've picked up a garden book and read it cover to cover. This one did the job. We design gardens for a living and frequently need a comprehensive guide to let clients tailor their garden maintenance. From installation through customizing maintenance techniques for individual species this book does it all....and well.
Complete instructions for most perennials -
This book tells you what and when to do things to most perennials. It has made me a much better gardener and made my garden look better. I loved it so much that I bought a copy for my Sister-in-law.
I recommend it for gardeners on all levels.
Great Resource -
I am in agreement with all of the other very positive reviews on the "Well Tended Perennial Garden", this has quickly became my new bible on perennials. The writer is very knowledgeable and opinionated; though at times her personal tastes on plants come through loud and clear. Though there were some instances when I strongly disagree with her, for instance her view on irises not being worth the effort, but that did not take away from the usability of this book.
The Encyclopedia of Perennials is a great resource, one place that you can go for information on a plant including not only the usual details regarding size, exposures, zones etc but also details on how to prune, the level of maintenance you should expect and related plants.
