Surprise hit - sensible garden tips all year 'round!

My mother passed this book along to me with a couple of other garden books she'd never found a use for, and I thought I'd skim it before dumping in a drop box. To my surprise, I love it! Every day of the year, Allison offers homey and sensible garden advice with a fireside-chat coziness (or, for the hotter months, an over-the-garden-fence neighbourliness). She mixes sayings, advice, trivia, and tips for the beginning gardener with a gentle humour that is never laugh-out-loud funny but will often bring a smile. I turn to this book so often - though I confess, more so in the winter when dreaming of the garden - that I've started writing small garden moments and milestones of my own in the margins to look back at year after year. Some of her entries may sound a little dated - they often refer to mail-order sources, and include mailing addresses, but I'm sure in many cases, you can just look up a website instead these days. The information itself is no less helpful or valuable. Whether you're just starting out or an experienced gardener, this is a great one to add to the bookshelf - or stash in the spare bathroom.

It is packed with interesting facts, tips and guidelines.

This book is so helpful for any dedicated gardener. It improves your garden and stirs your love of gardening.

Perfect for Me!

This was the perfect book for someone like me-a new homeowner and a green "green thumb!" She has such a special, friendly way of writing that it was nurturing and calming to my gardening fears-no wonder her flowers grow so well!
