Tools of the Earth: The Practice and Pleasure of Gardening

Rating:
Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: I've been an organic gardener for 35 years and Jeff Taylor's "Tools of the Earth" is hands down the best book on what gardening is really about that I have ever read! His wit, style and humor leave me wanting to find this guy and just follow him around for a couple of months to see how much I can learn. He is amazing and I love his writing!

Summary: Magical!
Review: There is a sense of amazement at Taylor's reminiscences. A simple story of a wheelbarrow turns into laughter and fond memories of your own gardening experiences. Truly a feel good book for everyone who's ever kicked at dirt with their toe to those that have green thumbs.

Summary: Enjoyable for the inexperienced and experienced
Review: This is a pleasant read. Brought a smile when I didn't expect it. Though it didn't tell me "how to" create a beautiful garden it expressed the way I work in the earth. When I leave my tools laying about tucked in the flowers this book showed me others think the same and do the same. Practical info: the chapters are short and you can skip around chapter wise. The book is nicely presented with good quality paper. This would also make a wonerful gift.

Summary: Tools of the Earth
Review: Using a quiet sense of humour the author of this book coaxes a smile from the reader for the people who use the tools of the earth. You don't have to be a gardener to enjoy this book. It is a delight to read.

Summary: Winter Relief for Gardners
Review: Would make a great wintertime gift for a gardner. It was fun and informative. It would help to fill-in that awful winter void when we gardners can't play in the dirt.
