Review # 1 was written on 2010-11-12 00:00:00 Alain Fournes The (non-grammatical) subtitle of this book is "How to Garden Wiser as you Grow Older," but it is actually a great book for anyone who simply doesn't have time to keep up with the garden they have created. Sydney Eddison says "It took a great deal of time and energy to make the garden as hard to manage as it ultimately became…" I know the feeling very well. This is a delightful book'very chatty and fun to read and filled with really good advice. No photos'just some nice black and white drawings to illustrate her points. I've taken it out of the library twice, and think I'm going to buy a copy to keep for reference.

Review # 3 was written on 2018-07-01 00:00:00 Rachel Penn A friend had my number when she gave me this book as a gift...I know the time to cut down on my beloved gardening is somewhere around the corner...yet I am rather in denial. This author is so honest about where she was some years ago when she was in the exact same place as I, so her honesty and sharing about how she struggled to maintain a beautiful garden, yet cut down on the expense and high maintenance, is invaluable. I also learned a lot about new plants and their habits (yes, Author Eddison, the book also nudged me to try MORE rather than less, at times.), and there are lovely illustrations about the author's gardens. So, I am still rather in denial, and not too much willing to make many changes...but my mind and heart are whirling and considering, and should I continue to make some changes to make gardening easier, my husband will also be indebted to the author.

Review # 4 was written on 2017-05-23 00:00:00 Rene Serna This was an interesting book. I like the book because it showed me a lot about plants and gave me a website to search on and it was amazing. This was also interesting because it was actually teaching us how to grow a garden. I recommend this book who love gardening as a hobby. I also recomend this book for people who like interesting stuff.
