Reviews and Quotes

“The conversational tone of the text demystifies mulching, composting and fertilizers without talking down to the reader. … It is like getting gardening advice from your friend who has been gardening for a years and is happy you’re finally jumping on the bandwagon.”

“Lastly, I want to mention the book’s design because good gardening books are common, but well-designed gardening books are rare. The book’s design is wonderful, probably the most beautiful book on vegetable gardening I’ve ever seen.” - Mr. Brown Thumb, Chicago Garden, Chicago Now

“There’s a lot packed into just a couple hundred pages, including lots of great tips, explainers and projects, like how to make your own self-watering container. The photos — by Trail and her partner, Davin Risk — are beautiful and inspiring.” - Peggy McMullen, The Oregonian

“Cooper also notes the gritty, hip nature of many of the book’s photographs—‘it’s gardening for newbies without alienating the tattoo crowd.’” - Lucinda Dyer, Publishers Weekly
