Review by Mom of three boys for The Way We Garden Now: 41 Pick-and-Choose Projects for Planting Your Paradise Large or Small

I loved this book! I read it in a weekend (very easy read) and will be reading tid bits of it throughout the year. It has great tips to be used throughout the entire year – for every season! The book shows you how to start beds from scratch, plant flowers, bulbs, gardens, how to make and use compost, container gardens, gardening journals, etc. Loads of information that can really come in handy. If you want a book full of lovely full page photos… this isn’t the book for you. This is a very useable do it yourself book chuck full of information. The book has no photos but has beautifully drawn illustrations. This one’s a keeper!!

I am so thrilled to receive Katherine Whiteside’s new book! This book is a great way to gear up to start a new project, and it will see you right through the whole process. It makes sense of gardening in all forms and gives you information you really can use.
This book is as pretty as it is useful and informative! I’d give it 10 stars!!

Nice book. Friendly and relaxed writing style. Great ideas for your garden. I particularly like her recommendations for how to get your landscaping designed on your own without hiring a professional. Very practical ideas. I recently loaned this book to some friends with an ugly, wasted back yard. They had been stuck for years because they couldn’t afford a landscape designer and they just didn’t know what to do with their yard. Two weeks later I was at their house and they were on their way implementing ideas from this book. Now they are “unstuck” and working on beautifying their yard.

I am a longtime gardener. I bought this for my sister, a budding gardener, but read it myself first. It was fun, informative, easy read and I gleaned a few ideas for my own new gardens–I just moved to a new home that has no beds.

I have ordered and read it seems like a million garden books over the years. This is one of the few that I thought was easy to follow while giving wonderful tips on how to plant YOUR best garden. The novice as well as the pro can learn a lot from her insights and suggestions. I keep it by my bedside for reference and also for just an enjoyable read. It is a keeper.
