I got the book a day early. But I haven't read it yet been to busy to do anything. I got both this one and Cottage Witchery saving me a little bit of money I am going to buy a few others the intent of these books are to help me and my mom out when we move to a house I am hoping she will read them and learn something :) I will come back to this when I actually read it which will be in a few weeks Bb Mm
good guideAugust 28, 2008 I started my new garden as soon as I finished this book. I know it will always be a work in progress and I'm OK with that, in fact I love that it will be. As I change, my garden will be changing right with me. I no longer feel that I have to spend lots of money at the garden center, just use what comes naturaly!
Nothing but fluffAugust 19, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have a hard time understanding why there are so many positive reviews here. This book is nothing but fluff. If you are anything more than a newbie, it's got nothing and if you're a complete newbie there's just enough information to be dangerous. She promises periodically that more information will be given about actually growing certain plants, but that information is never forthcoming.
It's full of personal anectdotes that have little to do with the topic at hand, the tone is condescending and she encourages the use of poisons. She anthropomorphizes plants in an embarrassing way, telling a story about a poisonous plant she accidentally purchased as if it had a personal vendetta against her and her family. Her attitude toward plants goes beyond respect into something slightly off-kilter.
The book is good for a giggle. If you must read it, make sure you have a firm grasp of both gardening and herbal magic first. Otherwise you could well follow this lady into lala land.
