If you have not used the Western Garden Book by Sunset, you are missing an excellent resource. It is a comprehensive, easy to use guide for plants, trees, and shrubs. It will tell you exactly what plants will grow where and how to manage them. It contains information on everything from propagation to fertilization. My copy of the Western Garden Book is a 1962 edition, but I purchased the 1998 edition for my daughter. I use this book often to ensure that I am not buying plants that will not do well in my yard. I highly recommend the book for anyone who lives in the Western United States whether you are in high snow country, or the hot deserts of the southwest. This book will help you a lot.
This is the best resource gardening book for the West. Wether you are a beginner or the experienced gardener this book is a must. If you have something growing in your garden and are not sure what it is or how to care for it, you'll find it in here. Not only is it easy to use, it has sections for almost everything. Want a climbing plant, there's a section on just climbers. Want plants in the same basic colors, there is a section for it. I have both the 1976 edition and the 1998 edition. This last 1998 edition was for a friend. Your local nursery stocks some beautiful plants, but not all of them will grow in your area. If you check the plants out in the "Western Garden Book" you'll have no problem identifying what not to buy.
Sunset Garden Book has been the first book I turn to when I have any questions about what to do with, what to put in, how to take care of my garden. Had an old copy and decided it was time to get a newer one--same quality information,just updated and additional information. It's like a good friend--I take it with me when I go to the garden store to buy plants.
Excellent copy of this book is a must in every gardener’s library. This covers everything from cultivating the soil to planting and harvesting. I was looking for pruning and it covers that topic as well.
