How can I identify the grasses and flowering plants growing in my garden?

I just moved into a home which has some landscaping. I don't know what is here and how to care for it! I remember using a type of book as a kid that would ask questions to help identify living things. (Does the plant flower? Yes or No; Does the plant have simple leaves? Yes or No. etc) What type of book is this and/or where can I go to identify these plants?

Reply:Take some branches and leaves to the local garden center NOT HOME DEPOT. They will tell you all you need to know about all of them.
Reply:I don't know the book you are speaking of but if there is a garden club or master Gardener association in your area contact them. I have found friends and a huge wealth of info from these resources, it is a great way to meet people if you are new to the area. Also try your county extension office for soil testing and other info, good luck!
