This is a good book for getting planting ideas for your garden. If you are new to gardening, this book offers almost no information on the basics of gardening (plant selection, soil preparation, etc...) It does offer quite a few garden plans with a complete plant list and notes on what to expect from each plan. Most of the plans are small scale plans but there are a few larger scale plans for those of us with bigger yards. Also some of the plans seemed like they could be combined well with other plans in the book to create a larger gardening area. Overall a really good resource for planning a garden if you already know the basics.
