Reviews for Simple Gardening Guide
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The book is sold as a basic guide to gardening but it is essentially a list of plants the author likes or enjoys growing. Some of the tips are useful. However, I expected a few pages on where to plant your garden, sun, soil and watering. All things that new gardeners need help with but often overlook in the excitement of selecting what to grow.
It appears that the author is passionate about the plants they present.
