    We moved to Florida in early 2021. I borrowed this book three times from the library before I bought it. It covers everything to know for Florida gardeners. From grasses to plants to palms, bushes, and shrubs, this book covers it all. I can now identify many of the popular and pretty flowers surrounding me. More important, the book instructs me on how to best care for it all.

    I am new to Florida and found this book very useful. It presents the most common plants in FL and tells you how (and when) to grow them. I originally got this book out of the library but found it so useful that I bought a copy myself.

    Being new to Florida, we had no idea what plants would live in sandy soil and withstand the heat and cool winters. This book answers all of our questions.
