2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing text with incredible illustrations, January 19, 2003
This review is from: The Enchanted Gardening Book (Hardcover)
Despite the ambitious title of this book, the projects found inside, ranging from planting a terrarium to creating a Japanese rock garden, are a bit lacking. The reader is given only the most vague growing information without any scientific background or general gardening knowledge. The author, in fact, recommends that the reader seek out books on roses for her Rose Garden project! While flowers and herbs are included in the book's projects, vegetables are completely overlooked. However, the illustrations are absolutely beautiful, very Victorian in nature, and are inspirational in their sheer floriferous-ness. Although this is not a "one stop shop" book, the basic project ideas combined with the illustrations, may provide a very beginning young gardener with some incentives to get growing!
