Customer Reviews

Gardening Victory!

As a first time gardener faced with landscaping the blank yard of our new house, I found this book invaluable. Michael's clear, easy to understand instructions take you step by step through the process of creating a beautiful landscape for your home. And even though I won't be doing much of the heavy-lifting parts of the garden myself, at least now I have the beginning vocabulary needed to speak with the contractors; the other day, when the mason asked me, "Lady how big do you want your patio?" I knew the answer. This is a great guide that takes "intimidating" out of gardening!

Urban Victory Garden

I was particularly impressed with this book because it's not just a pretty face. Unlike other gardening books full of lush illustrations and no content, The Victory Garden Companion is a valuable, usable guide. I particularly like the sections on urban gardening, and gardening in small spaces. Kudos to Michael, and all the folks at the Victory Garden for producing such a great volume.
