A Wonderful Book for "Gardeners" This book is full of advice, tricks, tips, etc. for the maniacal gardener's soul. I found it insightful, down to earth, and quite thought provoking.
Trowel and Error Review I love this book. Since gardening skipped a generation in my family I missed out on the age old and the tried and true natural approaches. I feel like I'm sitting down with a favorite aunt who is passing on family gardening secrets and sharing her joy of gardening at the same time. When I read this book, I not only get great natural remedies and techniques but the feeling that this aunt and I are out in the garden on a sunny day sipping mint tea and shelling peas.
Gardening with Wit and Warmth This has become my favorite gardening book overnight. Not only does it have so many wonderful and unconventional ideas, but it is written with warmth and humor. It is not your ordinary factual gardening manual--willow tea, strawberry baskets sunk into the ground for finiky transplants,homemade hollyhock and rose spray, coffee grounds for acid loving plants,fool-proof natural cat repellent. And, those are just a few of Sharon LoveJoy's clever ideas! I highly recommend this book. I find myself constantly pulling it out just for the enjoyment of reading it and getting a great big smile on my face-- even when there is no gardening to be done. The writing is great, the little sketches are great and the ideas are wonderful.I can't say enough. I just love this book. Give it a try. I think you will be happy. |
