This is a sweet book for a start-gardener looking for some usable inspiration for creating a well coordinated border. The split-page format allows you to select three graduated-in-size plant types to see what they would look like together and if they would work as companion plants. it’s practical and full of good advice, the authors know their stuff, and is refreshingly un-stuffy and non-scary, which many more worthy gardening tomes can be. It would make a lovely present for a new gardener.
