Light-hearted, incredibly thorough, delightful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book covers pretty much every gardening topic, in surprising detail, but is never intimidating. Because it's organized around projects, you can start at an easy pace. But it's also so complete you can look up insect pests or details about soil and nutrients and get pretty much everything you need. The author loves plants and food and gardening, and the writing is terrific. Many of the projects make great activities to do with children.
