[Thomasin Propson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved it! The 5 stars are because it's a perfect blend of gardening struggles, naturalist tips, humorous stories of family, neighbors, and staff. It's that simple, but so great. I enjoyed the author's references to his privileged life without bowling us over with the (clearly) amazing connections his family holds.

Mom, I'll be sending you my copy - you'll love it!
