"If you want a concise clear guide showing what plants will grow where, which attract butterflies and more, then 'The Gardener's Book of Charts, Tables & Lists: A Complete Gardening Guide' by Nancy Ballek MacKinnon is for you. MacKinnon, a nursery owner and environmental horticulturist, provides gardening tips and color combination ideas, plus charts with plants organized by color for easy planting and genus, species and common name. The charts also include symbols for sun tolerance, fragrance, bird, hummingbird and butterfly attraction and whether the plant is good for cuttings or dried flowers. This may sound like a lot of information in a small space, but it is organized so well, that even a novice can follow the guide with success."
