Reading this book, a chapter at a time over a cup of morning coffee, is like having a chat with Margot.
Down to Earth
Practical Thoughts for Passionate Gardeners
Description
Down to Earth is a book that speaks to the soul of the passionate gardener of any experience level, exploring and detailing all the pleasures that gardeners enjoy from this hobby. Rochester encourages readers to garden for self-gratification. No hoeing, no tilling, no turning of piles. No chemical insecticides or herbicides, either. The author's goal is to encourage and enable gardeners to simplify tasks, saving time and money, while making their gardens their own. Rochester's refreshing musings and advice invite the reader to take a break, pour a cup of tea, and forge a fine and friendly relationship with a kindred spirit of gardening.
Reviews
This book is full of plant descriptions, but more than that, a life of lessons learned by trial and error, and not just in the garden.
Both a manual and a celebration of gardening, this collection of short columns will inspire even the most intimidated of beginner gardeners.
I originally checked this book out of from the library. I fell in love with it and bought my own copy.
