This book is a feast for eyes as there's plenty of gorgeous photos of flowers and a very important guide for gardeners as it explains how to combine different flowers according to colours， texture， and season。I loved it as it fascinating and informative， one of those book that makes you dream and project a perfect garden。Highly recommended。Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC， all opinions are mine This book is a feast for eyes as there's plenty of gorgeous photos of flowers and a very important guide for gardeners as it explains how to combine different flowers according to colours， texture， and season。I loved it as it fascinating and informative， one of those book that makes you dream and project a perfect garden。Highly recommended。Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC， all opinions are mine 。。。more

THE ULTIMATE FLOWER GARDENER’S GUIDE has so much information to treasure for readers’ interested in learning more about building flower gardens。 The theory behind building a garden with complexity and interest permeates this book。 I have only one complaint: there is a lengthy reference section with photos and names of plants but the growing zone is not included。 I wish it was。 Then， when I read the book I can consider whether the lovely plant might grow in my garden。 Otherwise， the reference sec THE ULTIMATE FLOWER GARDENER’S GUIDE has so much information to treasure for readers’ interested in learning more about building flower gardens。 The theory behind building a garden with complexity and interest permeates this book。 I have only one complaint: there is a lengthy reference section with photos and names of plants but the growing zone is not included。 I wish it was。 Then， when I read the book I can consider whether the lovely plant might grow in my garden。 Otherwise， the reference section is less than helpful。 I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley。 。。。more

Love， love， love， love！ I read a ton of gardening books and I can be hard to please， but this was just a joy。 It's packed with gorgeous photos and tons of information。 Different sections give you all you need to know， from what flowers are best for different bloom times to how to prepare your site for flowers to profiles of all kinds of annuals， perennials and bulbs， plus loads more。 This is really well named as it is an ultimate guide。 Highly recommended。I read a temporary digital ARC of this b Love， love， love， love！ I read a ton of gardening books and I can be hard to please， but this was just a joy。 It's packed with gorgeous photos and tons of information。 Different sections give you all you need to know， from what flowers are best for different bloom times to how to prepare your site for flowers to profiles of all kinds of annuals， perennials and bulbs， plus loads more。 This is really well named as it is an ultimate guide。 Highly recommended。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more

Expert gardener， Jenny Rose Carey， has assembled a wealth of knowledge about how to prepare and plant a garden full of beautiful flowers。 Her shared expertise shows how to start and prepare one's gardening space， and then how to go about planting one's garden to get the effect one wants。 Her knowledge is geared towards beginner and more experience home gardener alike， and any gardener would be lucky to own this book。 I really enjoyed the sections where she discussed how to have a blooming garden Expert gardener， Jenny Rose Carey， has assembled a wealth of knowledge about how to prepare and plant a garden full of beautiful flowers。 Her shared expertise shows how to start and prepare one's gardening space， and then how to go about planting one's garden to get the effect one wants。 Her knowledge is geared towards beginner and more experience home gardener alike， and any gardener would be lucky to own this book。 I really enjoyed the sections where she discussed how to have a blooming garden all year round and how to structure a garden to get different effects。 Another very excellent tool is her compendium of plants， which colours they have， their growing seasons and best growing conditions， with both their botanical name， and also any general name（s）。 The more I read the book， the more I realised that I will have to add this to my section of gardening books。 It was also nice to see her mention plants and flowers I already have in my garden and how I can add and improve on what I'm already doing。 This is a very practical and beautifully photographed guide for any gardener。 My only regret is that the ebook edition was a little hard to read - the text and images appeared stretched。。 This is most likely to do with pre-published formatting and I'm sure will be fixed。 Thank you to NetGalley and Timber Press for this free eARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review。 。。。more

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 This is a beautiful book！The book lists different flowers and has information on planning your garden， caring for it， and organizing all of your flowers to look good。 The book lists flowers by their latin names （even though it lists the common names too） so it makes it a little hard to find certain flowers。 The photos are beautiful！ There's a lot of helpful information on growing healthy flowers。 I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 This is a beautiful book！The book lists different flowers and has information on planning your garden， caring for it， and organizing all of your flowers to look good。 The book lists flowers by their latin names （even though it lists the common names too） so it makes it a little hard to find certain flowers。 The photos are beautiful！ There's a lot of helpful information on growing healthy flowers。 。。。more
