Review by: Phillip Mollett on March 29, 2013 :
A very interesting read. I like the historical referances. Yule log, yew tree and mistletoe so far. It is also making me wish that I had a much bigger garden !
There is a lot of very useful and well explained information in there.

Review by: Angharad Waterfield on Nov. 20, 2012 :
Brilliant! A very insightful book with lots of useful garden tips and tricks. I like how it goes through the various topics with instructions and anecdotes alongside each other, it means you can really engage with the book rather than like many others just have information bombarded at you! The glossary is a very useful addition as well! Definitely well worth a read
