By , About.com Guide

A poll of About Gardening readers elicited quite a diversity of opinion about which plants are perfect for the new gardener. Which is great, since there's bound to be something here to please everyone.

I still don't have photos for every plant, so if you have a great photo and would like to submit it for possible inclusion, please email it to me.
