Summary
No one was born a gardener, but everyone was born to garden. Beyers has created an easy-to-follow, visually instructive handbook that teaches not only the hows, but also the whys-- the proven science-- of what goes into a thriving garden. Whether you're seeking to grow your own food or fill your life with flowers, you'll learn about soil, plant selection, propagation, planting and mulching, watering and feeding, pruning, and weeds, pests, and diseases. -- adapted from back cover
