The Art of South Florida Gardening: A Unique Guide to Planning, Planting, and Making Your Subtropical Garden Grow

By Coralee Leon and Harold Songdahl

Book Overview

Gardeners from Key West to Lake Okeechobee and on up the coasts know that gardening advice for the rest of the country just doesn't apply here. South Florida is unique, and The Art of South Florida Gardening is uniquely intended for South Florida gardeners, who have depended on the solid advice in this book since the first edition came out more than a decade ago. Now it has been updated with more helpful facts, tips, and advice for the conservation-conscious gardener of the 21st century, while maintaining the practical, easygoing attitude South Florida gardeners have found so comforting over the years. This book still makes gardening in South Florida inviting and fun, whether you are an old hand or have just moved here and even if you have never before considered getting your hands dirty. Harold's warm, wise voice is always encouraging and enthusiastic, and Coralee's lively engaging prose will have you reading as much for pleasure as for its valuable information.

A novel, well-written book that makes care of your garden plants easy to read and understand. Compared to other garden books, even very good ones, this book is a joy to read for the novice gardener up to those who are experienced gardeners. This book creates a standard for other garden books to be judged.
