As I browsed through this lovely book, I envisioned my own garden brimming with produce. It's a great tool for starting a garden, but also just a wonderful book to look at. The photography is very good and the chapters make total sense.

There is a bit of difference in produce due to the England/America thing, but it doesn't deter from the usefulness of the book. You just won't find the same varietals as what's in the book for some species. An example is in the Potato chapter.

If you're a first time gardener, read this book first and then get started. Going organic from the first shot is the best option for you, your family and for the earth!

All in all, I just love this little book. It's not huge by any means. Just a simple book with great ideas. Nothing fancy. But, that's what Organic Gardening is all about. Simplicity at its finest!

I happened upon this book in a thrift store, but am now buying it for my friends. This book is straightforward, factual and has the most beautiful pictures. What I found most helpful was the year long garden "plan" at the end of the book. It is broken down by month and you just can't go wrong when following it.
This is not one of those crazy Organic Garden books that try to scare you into their over-the-top type of gardening. This is simply respect for the land and understanding its basic principles. This book will touch those, like me, who have a love of the earth and the bounty it gives back to us.
