Not really a handly tips and tricks book, but interesting nonetheless
I bought this book because I just recently started to garden and I need all the knowledge I can gather. I think I expected something entirely different than what it was. I expected it to be a resource for my many gardening questions, but it is not. It is more of a history book about different plants. How plants were grown in the old days, why they were grown, medicinal purposes, ads for seeds from 100 years ago. I don't want to complain as I tis avery well researched book and the right audience will love it. In fact, I am saving it to give to my elderly uncle who has gardened for the last 80 years and who is an avid reader. I think he will love it!
