Stunning flower gardens that bloom through the seasons depend on the artful combination of annuals, perennials, and bulbs.

The extensive section on using color in the garden can guide you through the tricky process of plant placement and selection. Practical techniques are emphasized too. You will learn how to care for soil, start plants from seeds, grow and care for plants in containers, and maintain your plants and gardens. Sections on dividing plants, lifting bulbs, saving seeds, forcing bulbs for indoor winter flowers, and preparing the garden for winter are also included.
