Johnson, Lorraine

A comprehensive, beautifully illustrated book useful for beginner and experienced gardeners who plan to add native plants to their gardens.

This timely, well-written work offers an insightful and inspiring look at gaining control of one's food and references other works that provide how-to knowledge and additional discussions of the current food movement. Although not a step-by-step planting guide, it contains sidebars full of helpful tips that may motivate black-thumbed gardeners to at least contemplate taking a trowel to dirt and begin a small garden of their own. Highly recommended.
