"If you don't have a horticulture background, are too busy to take the master gardener program, and wonder about the nuts and bolts of gardening, read this book." , "A practical book filled with the details of how to care for perennials..." Valerie Easton," Seattle Times," August 5, 2006, "Well worth revisiting, with more than 200 new photos and a 32-page journal section in which you can enter details, notes, and observations about the requirements and perfromances of perennials in your own garden." Suzanne Hively," Cleveland Plain Dealer," September 11, 2006, Well worth revisiting, with more than 200 new photos and a 32-page journal section in which you can enter details, notes, and observations about the requirements and performances of perennials in your own garden., "If you don't have a horticulture background, are too busy to take the master gardener program, and wonder about the nuts and bolts of gardening, read this book." Steve Aitken, Horticulture, "If you don't have a horticulture background, are too busy to take the master gardener program, and wonder about the nuts and bolts of gardening, read this book." Steve Aitken, "Horticulture", [This book] is number one on my list of must-read gardening books because it takes the mystery out of how to become a first-class perennial gardener., The plant expert Tracy DiSabato-Aust says that slightly tender plants, like certain asters, chrysanthemums and ferns, benefit from the layer of protection their dead tops offer during the winter. And their seeds are also beneficial to the birds., "A practical book filled with the details of how to care for perennials, from cutting back to fertilizing, staking and dividing. ... Aust thoroughly explains the how and when for all these techniques. ... Perhaps the most useful section is that of lengthy lists in the back that help you determine which perennials you do and don't want to grow, depending on your tolerance for maintenance and where you live, and which perennials are deer-resistant, have seedheads that attract song birds, are short-lived, need deadheading or lots of other categories thought up by this walking encyclopedia of a perennial expert." Valerie Easton, Seattle Times, August 5, 2006, If you don't have a horticulture background, are too busy to take the master gardener program, and wonder about the nuts and bolts of gardening, read this book., "Well worth revisiting, with more than 200 new photos and a 32-page journal section in which you can enter details, notes, and observations about the requirements and performances of perennials in your own garden." , This book raise[s] gardeners' awareness through its refusal to pull punches or let the central tenets get lost in thickets of flowery prose. It's probably the most down-and-dirty book on gardening I've ever read., "A practical book filled with the details of how to care for perennials..."

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (20,827)
- e***l (876)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook is in excellent condition. It did arrive a week and a half later than it was originally supposed to. I reached out to the seller which took a bit of time to receive a response. The book was a good value and it did ship in a bubble envelope which always helps with protecting the books from postal handling/damage.
- d***a (53)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping took a little longer than it initially said but the book still arrived just as described in fantastic condition. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging though, as it was just wrapped in a simple thin plastic sleeve with zero cushion or padding and I've had books completely destroyed because there was nothing to protect them so if possible I'd like to see the seller provide a safer package when shipping books. But thankfully mine wasn't damaged in transit!STATION HILL BLANCHOT READER, Blanchot, Maurice, 9781886449176 (#197410139171)
