This book blossoms!!
11 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover
I received this book as a gift. I am a healer and frankly, I didn't think I would learn a thing. But the photographs were so appealing that I started flipping through it. To this day, (I've been reading it over and over for about a year now) I learn something or garner an idea that absolutely inspires me. I have now transformed my entire yard with the influence of this book. At least four groups of people stop on a daily basis and are so attracted to my yard that they are drawn to stop and tell me. I am extremely impressed with Ms. Rawlings ability to include so much factual information about so many subjects and to align her knowledge of the subjects with gardening in general. I think the book is brilliant, well-researched and obviously comes from the heart of a garden lover.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
4 July 2000
Format:Hardcover
The book contains beautiful pictures and lots of great information on plants for the experienced gardener. I think that to many subjects were covered in one book. Each of the areas adressed in the book could have been an entire book in itself. This book assumes that the reader has a workable knowledge of plants. Not a book for a beginner. Not worth the price that I paid.

Standard Coffee Table Book, Grade Two
20 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
While filled with several informative and interesting passages on select "healing" gardens and rather helpful information on creating your own (including plant lists), this book just doesn't do it for me. A wonderful one-over for all types of holistic gardens, but if you're looking for something on one specific type go for a specialized book.
