Conversational book on gardening by a Canadian expert that teaches. The pictures of gardens across the country are a treat. Because they are real, they felt real and not gimmicky like so many other gardening books I perused.

I found a copy of this book at the thrift store this week. So glad I bought it. Worth way more than the $1 I payed for it, for sure! I'm not even a third of the way through it yet, but I am going to keep this book as a resource forever! Great addition to the home library.
