Customer Reviews

An inspiring, entertaining read

I really enjoyed this book. It is a realistic and honest account (including failures and disappointments) of the author's small town garden, and the two overgrown allotments she shares with her sister and friends. It is personal, but not irritatingly so, and the diary alternates with short essays on various gardening topics, visits to experts, and ideas gleaned from eclectic gardening books and journals. A great read for beginning gardeners as well as more experienced ones looking for new ideas.
