“ This book is an absolute pleasure to read!

The writing style is engaging, clear and exceptional. The author masterfully

guides the reader from the “big picture” down to the small, crucial details,

creating a logical and satisfying flow that makes seemingly complex topics

easy to grasp. I particularly love the concise Lesson Summaries which per-

fectly reinforce key takeaways. Ultimately, this book succeeds in doing

what few others can: it completely takes the fear out of gardening,

making it accessible and inspiring for everyone. “
