good books?

9 years ago

Hi Floridians!

Although I'm in chilly zone 5, I'd like to get my sister a few really nice reference books for her location in South Florida--SW Ranches, to be specific. Can y'all recommend some useful guides for her?

Thanks!

Most of the books I have are written more for central Florida, but one I have spans the entire state and has lots of good information.

Florida Gardener's Resource by Tom MacCubbin and Georgia B. Tasker

It not only covers good landscaping plants, but also has schedules for when certain garden tasks should be performed. However, it does tend to list a plant's hardiness a bit on the safe side.
