The best book I've read for beginner is "A
Garden of One's Own" by Elsa ?? Oops I can't
remember her last name, but the title is correct
and you should be able to find it in the library.
Very worth while. She started gardening in her
50's, I think, so wasn't "born and bred" to it.
Now she teaches!

Ah, another Eddison fan. I find "A Patchwork
Garden" very inspirational. You
might also want to try "A Starter Garden" by
Cheryl Merser. The Robinson in
interesting, and I have read it several times, but
may be a little much for the
beginner. His principles can be little difficult to
translate into smaller
spaces.
You might want to try "The Art Of Perennial
Gardening" by Patrick Lima. He has
some excellent and inspirational photographs,
talks about plant combinations
extensively, and for those of us in cold climates,
he gardens in a very cold part
of zone 4.
