Maybe your wife is an un-gardener! That's a garden which is allowed to be what
it is. If your wife, or you like to read in the essay style, I highly recommend
"Noah's Garden" by Sara Stein. It's a great jumping off point. She talks about
un-gardening...but she is a most wonderful writer.

My wife hasn't had much interest in gardening and landscaping, so I've sort
of taken on that role, learning as I go. She has little patience for the
work involved, but I think a "beginner's guide" might help her along. Can
you recommend a book that can help her not only with the fundamentals of
gardening, but perhaps give suggestions for easy-to-grow (low maintenance)
plants?

Thanks in advance!
