• A Gardener With A Sense Of Humor! 12 July, 2007
Intrigued by the title, I began reading this book and found myself laughing out loud with the author's descriptions. Though a good book for anyone with an interest in gardening, with its easy-to-follow instructions, beautiful pictures and recommendations, this is also a 'good read' for those of us who are already gardening addicts. I was glad to find someone else who couldn't pass up an intriguing plant even though we had absolutely no idea where we were going to put it. This is a book for the curious, the experimenter, and those who simply find joy in the garden. I loved the book, have already enjoyed reading the commentary over and over again...and, of course, will look for some of the recommendations I haven't heard of before. This would also make a great gift for any 'budding' gardener!

• Excellent Service And Condition 14 April, 2008
I bought this used. It was received in a few days and to me it looks brand-new just like the one I had checked out of the library.

• Great Read On Easy Plants! 18 September, 2008
As a "novice" gardener, and new owner of an old house with plenty of landscaping to improve on, I find this book an easy, enjoyable and inspiring read on low care, tough plants. Great photos, too.
