Fabulous Book.......2007-04-19
This book is absolutely inspiring! It is wonderful what sophisticated designs can be created with these techniques and simple beads. The author is a woman after my own heart (she asks, "Can any one person own too many beads?"), and her knowledge and passion show in her writing. I think this book may overwhelm someone who is an absolute beginner, someone who has never done any beadwork before. To get the most from this book, I think you need a little experience. But her illustrations are the best I have ever seen, and her instructions are very clear. This book is worth the price just for the gorgeous color photos of projects. Another thing I like about the book is the fact that she gives many pointers for variations in the techniques, and encourages you to take off on your own. If you like seed beads and want to get beyond stringing, this book is essential.
Inspiring.......2006-09-21
There is only 1 other book at this level and that is the author's Creative Bead Weaving. Buy either one or even better both. Not only are the instructions excellent but the pictures and the projects are creative and inspiring. Please - when is your next book coming out.
Bead Weaving.......2006-07-27
Great book for instructions for all types of bead weaving. The beads are numbered so you have exact directions on where to go next. A "must have" book for any beader.
Fabulous.......2006-07-04
I found this book at the library and I was enchanted. I ordered my book from Amazon and thankfully received it before I had to return my copy to the library. I made many beautiful Christmas gifts from the ideas I got from this wonderful book. This book has challenged me and showed me the way with clear directions and diagrams. I am inspired to build on the techniques I have developed with the guidance of this excellent book.
If you had just enough money to buy 1 book, this is it!.......2006-02-28
The techniques are all encompassing, directions backed up with good illustrations. Easy to follow, and should I find the time to experience all that is in this book, I'll be a great beader!
I have many Beading Books, and consider this one my finest at the present time. 2006

The complete guide to creative landscape.......2007-05-14
This is a great book with so many very well illustrated projects. I have just built a new home and am beginning to landscape my 4 acres I find this book very useful. All the projects are described in great detail with lots of pictures. Thanks L. Rocha
It can't be replaced!!!.......2006-05-15
I bought this book over a year ago. I've read through each project a dozen times. I love about 94% of them. Our house sits on a lot that is ~ 100 feet x ~ 120 feet. I was going to get crazy this spring and summer with a new patio, arbor, and several garden areas.
Sometime a couple of months ago, my book disappeared. I have searched nearly every square inch of our attic and basement, in addition to every closet, underneath every bed, and even in the garage. My wife has looked as well, but to no avail.
I'm 32 years old, and losing this book has nearly made me cry on at least four occassions. It's that good.
Our library doesn't have it. None of the hardware stores in town have it. We have one bookstore in town - and they don't have it. Last weekend, I finally broke down and bought two other books, thinking that by doubling up it would somehow take away the pain of losing my B&D Creative Landscapes book.
It hasn't worked.
I'm purchasing another copy on line this afternoon. There are just too many things in the book that I can't find anywhere else. It's nothing that difficult, but they do such a great job of making things easy to follow, and each project gives you ideas for three more.
Buy the book. Buy two copies. And be sure to hide one in your drawer where no one can take it.
Great Book.......2002-05-12
This book is so well layed out. I give this book 5 stars because it has excellent descriptions and pictures. I built the terra cotta fountain in the book and I love it so much.
Not bad depending on what you are looking for.......2002-01-13
This book is great as general advice. There are SO MANY different projects though that there is not a great level of detail on any one. Just enough of an overview and "how-to" to make you feel comfortable about taking some of these projects on for yourself or answering those questions that always used to make you go "Hmmmmm." Still, for a first time homeowner it will give you a lot of ideas and confidence to start making plans.
great book!!.......2000-10-28
I have been in the search of a home for months now and the one thing I kept telling myself was that when I finally bought it, I would also buy this book. I looked at lots of books at Home Depot, B & N, etc. but this is one of the best and most creative landscaping books I have found. So today, knowing that I have a home and YARD that I can call my own, I am buying it!!

Everything you need to know about your lawn........2007-07-17
This book is excellent. It has everything you need to know about your lawn, from grass, weeds and plants to tools, stonework and sprinklers. I find myself referencing it all of the time. An indispensable book.
Good value.......2006-11-03
I have checked the local sear's store for the book and eventually bought from amazon. Same quality but cheaper at amazon. Good value.
Makes a great housewarming gift!.......2006-04-04
I actually ordered this book through a book club when we bought our house. It has been so useful to me that I have been buying it for others as a gift when they buy their first homes.
Product Description
BOOK MIRACLE GRO NEW COMPLETE GARDEN BOOK
Amazon.com
If you're in the market for an all-around garden guide to get you primed for the planting season, this beautiful, well-organized book will meet all your needs. The cover's floral effusion will brighten your coffee table, and inside you'll find what you need to get started or to grow in your gardening. A guide should be quick and easy to use, and this one is: bold text is sprinkled throughout the index, helping you find your desired topic, and within the chapters, section headings jump right out.
The best thing about New Complete Guide to Gardening is the inclusion of up-to-date research on gardening techniques, lawn and plant care, and landscape plants. The basics of landscaping, use of plants, and color design lead into a chapter on special gardens, like woodland or wildflower, and yard solutions, such as water conservation, privacy, or turning a hill into a garden. A complete sectional encyclopedia for each plant type features not-too-small color pictures. The importance of healthy soil and its maintenance is becoming more widely recognized, and this guide will acquaint you with the fundamentals, including the benefits of organic fertilizers and composting. The proper selection, use, and maintenance of gardening tools is often neglected by the beginning gardener, so if you've got sticky pruners or rusty spades, check out the "Tools" chapter. Finally, a word of warning--this book will have you salivating for spring! --Molly McElroy

Great reference tool for beginners!.......1999-09-21
I bought this book when I bought & built my first house. I had to landscape my entire yard from nothing but dirt. This book provided a great starting point. It explained all the basics, and gave me a push in the right direction. Anytime I need more info on any plant or flower, I refer to this book for a great color picture and planting information. Now that I am becoming a more advanced gardener, I find I like more in-depth detail, but for the first 8 months of landscpaing, this book became my tattered, highlighted lifesaver!
Information is out-of-date, mistaken........1999-08-27
I'm a master gardener, so I picked up this book eagerly. Unfortunately, although the book is nice to look at, the information it contains is pretty old and in some cases, just mistaken. There are many other books that contain much better research than what is found here.
Awesome book!.......1999-05-13
I am new to gardeing and this book gave a lot of good information to me. It answered every question that I had. The pictures inside are plentiful and beautiful!
wonderful reference.......1999-05-04
If you had to have only one gardening book (I know but if you HAD to have only one!) this would be a good choice! Loads of pictures and helpful info!!!

Compact, but stuffed with information.......2006-12-08
There has really never been another garden book as compact and informative as Michael Wright's handbook. Whenever a 'new' plant hits the market, I look it up in the handbook, and although the book was originally published in the U.K. in 1984, more often than not I'll find the exact cultivar I'm looking for. The plant identification, cultivation, and descriptions are all right on the mark. Any time I can find a copy of this book, I buy it to give to my gardening friends, and every one of them thinks it's a treasure.
Complete Handbook of Garden Plants.......2000-09-22
This book is the most complete I have ever read. It is out of print and I keep it checked out from the library system. I wish I knew how to get this book re-printed. I know there would be an interest by many gardeners who would gladly purchase this. As another reviewer wrote, you can carry it with you. Every plant that I have read about, or saw at a garden center, I have picked up this book and read about it and enjoy the beautiful drawings linked with each description. I love all of my garden books, but this one I would grab in a mad rush if my house caught fire. It is that valuable to me.
The most useful book in my reference library.......1999-04-06
This book was a gift in 1986 and it is by far the most useful and used in my reference library. It is illustrated and covers a scope of plants rarely found in one volume. It includes trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs, annuals, etc. If you can aquire a copy of it, you won't be sorry. It is also small and easy to carry to garden shops and as a field guide.
Book Description
In clear, concise detail this book shows how to look at your plot, assess it for size, aspect and soil structure and makes the best of the features it offers.

Great Ideas for Garden Design.......2001-06-29
Complete Garden Planner is an excellent resource for gardeners who need design inspiration. Most gardeners come to desgin backwards, meaning that they start planting things they fall in love with only to find thay have created an incoherent mess! I know because I've been there. This book is an excellent guide down the garden design path. It will help you bring order to your yard or jungle and create something truly worthy of the word "garden."
