Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guides

Starting in spring 2003, we have an elegant new look—one that's smart, clean, and stylish. You can buy this book, the premiere volume in the series, from our online store.

Our new All-Region Guides have lots of spectacular full-page photos.

As always, our books are filled with practical, step-by-step advice that you can trust—each bit of information in every volume is checked by Brooklyn Botanic Garden editors, botanists, and horticulturists. Presented in a new friendly and uncluttered format and an easy-to-read typeface, the growing information is more accessible than ever.

Beginning with our summer 2003 book, The Butterfly Gardener's Guide, Brooklyn Botanic Garden handbooks expand from 112 to 120 pages, enabling us to pack even more great gardening information into every volume. This second volume in the new series is now available in our online store.

The vast majority of gardening books are written by one author, who can't possibly have personal experience in gardening in the many climate zones of North America. As our series name suggests, Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guides include the expert advice of the very best gardeners in every major region of the U.S. and Canada.

Plant recommendations feature at-a-glance growing information and handsome photographic portraits, and are organized by region for easy use.

With exquisite illustrations, jewellike photos, and an elegant modern design, Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guides are as inspirational as they are useful. They continue the BBG handbooks' long-standing tradition of pioneering new approaches to garden art.
