Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Soliciting tips from gardening authorities and just plain gardeners across the nation, Goldbloom has compiled a collection of practical advice and suggestions from folklore that is fun to browse through, even if it doesn't have the structured philosophy of a book written from one viewpoint. The 23 chapters cover the usual garden topics from selecting seeds suited to one's climate and growing conditions to cultivating soil. Organic gardening and pesticide usage meet side by side, with gentle pleas for less toxic insect control. Entries from contributors living in different growing zones from the desert to Alaska add interest as they reveal the problems confronting gardeners in these regions. The text is packed, but the arrangement of topics by chapter and the use of subheadings is helpful. Good for beginning and intermediate gardeners.
