A quick and easy read. I picked this up at my local library book sale. You can flip forward to read sections in any order you want. I would read this when I had 10 minutes here or there. Informative, but a bit repetitive.

A quick read. Good little bit-sized sections that help to make a difference in going "Green" in the garden. I don’t understand the freaking out over water conservation. If we all just watered the lawn less it seems that this issue would go away… so we need to be okay with brown grass in the middle of summer. Less watering and mowing... what would be better than that.

Green Gardener's Guide: Simple, Significant Actions to Protect & Preserve Our Planet by Joe Lamp'l (Cool Springs Press 2008)(635.0484). This is a volume of green tips for organically responsible gardening. My rating: 7/10, finished 2009.

One of the best gardening books I've ever read. I learned some things here. Loved the stats he uses to prove his main points.

Vary general book about going green everywhere in your life. Not really a useful garden book at all for anyone with a little organic experience.
