Customer Reviews

organic passion
I borrowed this from the library and what a wonderful read! informative, inspirational and entertaining. this is like no other gardening book i've read, you can feel the authors passion and enthusiasm for the subject on every page. it goes beyond just gardening and includes information and advice on green living and is packed full of resources you can check out elsewhere.

Inspirational
I borrowed this book from the library, and now want to own a copy. Some books are deeply informative. This is more of a starting off point, but written wih great references (URLs, names, products, books - all sorts) to allow you to follow up. The style is enthusiastic and easy to read with a good selection of pictures.

For me this is the kind of book that lifts me and gives me ideas when my enthusiasm is a little low. Well recommended.

Organic gardening - why as well as how
I have been an organic gardener for some time and felt most books on the subject had nothing new to offer, but Mr Shepherd's volume managed it. A lot of persuasive stuff about why we should garden organically, together with lots of practical advice and web sites to follow up. Excellent!
