8 Months of Color is a valuable tool for providing continuous color in my garden; no more all green areas waiting for the next blooming cycle or spent blooms needing deadheading. No more, "you should have seen it a few weeks ago." I liked my copy so much that I bought another for a gift...

After reading Janet's book, I decided to put in my own new '8 Months of Color Garden'. I used the information from her book to select the plants. Like Janet, I listed the selected plants by bloom time, placed them strategically in the garden to give a balanced array of color and then planted. I didnt have to go any further than the pages of your great book to design my garden. I learned about many plants I hadn't thought about using before and now I'm enjoying the long lasting color. Thanks for the easiest most informative reference book I've ever used and I loved the pictures!..
