5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Important New Gardening Book this Year., 7 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I am an experienced landscaper and horticulturist and I think this book will have a huge impact on all of gardening. It is obvious that our present day landscape plants are causing a great amount of allergy. This book is the first to clarify the garden plant-allergy situation. Overuse of male clones has left our cities bombarded with an excess of allergenic pollen. Ogren, the author of this fascinating book, has uncovered a wealth of new female plants, plants that will not cause any allergy. The photos in the book are good, the line drawings are clear and useful, the writing is strong, and the information is deep, unusual and altogether always helpful. I see this book having a large impact on all urban areas and in particular on the health of the readers who are clever enough to buy a copy of this excellent new book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Going to Be A Best Selling Garden Book!, 5 April 2000
By A Customer
Hi, I'm John Banks, a retired brewer from Ceritos, California. Relief at last! An Exceptionally fine Book! I like to garden and I spend a great deal of time outdoors. I also have allergies, worst in the spring and summer. I met the fellow who wrote this book at the LA Arboretum one day last year and he sent me a copy of the manuscript before it was actually printed. Wow! This book is full of information you just can't find any place else. I made some major changes in my own yards after reading this. Got rid of a bunch of male plants and replaced them with females. This book is the only one that lets the reader know exactly what to use and what not to use. Already this spring I noticed that I'm not having nearly the allergy I was having last year, and I'm sure the changes I made are what did it. I've never gone to the trouble to review a book before but Allergy-Free Gardening is so useful I felt like I just had to write one. If you have allergies or your family members do, check this book out. Actually, if you have friends who have allerguies ( and nowadays who doesn't?) I'd be sure to tell them about it too. You'll be doing them a real favor. One last thing, Ogren wrote this book so it would be useful anywhere in the world. It covers all the kinds of landscape and garden plants grown in the US, in Canada, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, Australia, the tropics, all over. It's a very thourough, readable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a Treasure!, 29 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I enjoyed the eye-friendly organization. For the layman--- the rating system, the illustrations, and the clearly representative (as well as beautiful) photos are very helpful. In my opinion, the unexpected additional information, whether practical (i.e. the warnings regarding poisonous plants) or specialized (i.e. the use of Northfork Island pine as a substitute Christmas tree for those with pine allergies) or derivative (i.e. avoiding cotton seed meal fertilizer because of their heavily sprayed fields) or purely of interest (i.e. Van Gogh's "heavy absinthe consumption") makes this book a treasure. [Gee---I am beginning to sound as though I regularly review books.] Bottom-line... I have had the book for only a few days and have already referred to it several times for myself or my allergy-sensitive friends and children.

Congratulations! to the author of Allergy-Free Gardening.
