Gardening for the Novice

This series of articles by seasoned garden writer Toni Leland covers some aspects of gardening that a newcomer might not know about or think to consider when starting to garden.

In this booklet, the author discusses ways to enhance the homestead with container gardens, plan and start a brand new garden, locate the information one needs to be successful in gardening, ways to save money, different types of soil and how plants respond to them, what the drought means to gardeners plus a list of plants that are drought resistant, planning "the perfect plant for the perfect place," and maintaining shrubs and trees with proper pruning.

The series is fully illustrated with vivid photographs, as well as links to some outside garden articles by this author.
