"Garden" redefined!, June 12, 2001
This review is from: Perelandra Garden Workbook: A Complete Guide to Gardening with Nature Intelligences (Paperback)
I have used both workbooks I and II, and have been amazed at the transformation my garden (and I) experienced. As a novice, I didn't fully understand the information "nature" was sharing with me and went on blind faith. Three years later, as a horticultural student, I have the scientific "aha" of understanding the amendments, plant choices, and design I was given. I admit--this is way out there, and yet it makes so much sense. There is no area--no space--that the principles taught here cannot be applied. Gardenig and Life can be easy, and Machaelle shows you just HOW easy it can be!!

Amazing and Enlightening, April 21, 2006
This review is from: Perelandra Garden Workbook: A Complete Guide to Gardening with Nature Intelligences (Paperback)
This is an absolutely amazing book that allows anyone involved with gardening to create a perfectly balanced garden that is in perfect harmony with nature.
The author describes useing kinesiology which is a type of muscle testing (virtually the same as using a dowsing rod or a handheld pendulum which i prefer) to contact and communicate with various earth intelligences such as Devas and nature spirits.
The gardener essentially puts 100% of his faith into the hands of these nature spirits and allows them to make virtually every single decision involving the design, planning, implementation, maintenance of the entire garden project! Although it sounds insane, it apparently provides a highly balanced and successful garden compared to the typical human dictatorship over nature typically utilized by 21st century gardeners and farmers.
While reading this book i couldn't help but realize early on that this book has very far reaching implications into many various aspects of humanity such as healing for example. It can be used in so many different ways that could be applied to any subject matter with slight modification of the basic techniques.
I plan on using the processes in this book on a new garden project and find out for myself just how effective it really is. Apparently the author has been doing it and perfecting the techniques for the last 30 years successfully!
I especially would recommend this book to anyone interested in contacting any nature intelligences such as devas, nature spirits, faeries, elementals, etc.. It appears to me that this book (possibly unknowingly) bridges a huge gap between the science behind co-creative gardening and the mystical and magical worlds of the faeries.

Excellent - gardening for the future, February 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Perelandra Garden Workbook: A Complete Guide to Gardening with Nature Intelligences (Paperback)
Believe me, this style of gardening works! My garden has never looked better with less work on my part. An excellent book -- even for the skeptical. Some of it sounds far out -- but I have found it all to be true. Just hang in there with it -- nature is waiting work with you!
