SOMETHING DIFFERENT

I have MANY other garden writing anthologies, but this is one with wonderful excerpts I have not seen before. Some familiar material, but not much. No pretty pictures, but the text more than makes up for it. The choices for this book are very enjoyable and inspiring for hands-on or armchair gardeners alike. Highly Recommended.
