Gardening With Confidence-- 50 Ways to add style for personal creativity hits all the gardening highlights and offers practical ways to achieve gardening style in accessible, bite-sized pieces. Each essay is a quick study in four pages and Helen's great color photos help to illustrate her points.
Gardening With Confidence summarizes Helen's practical experience and is presented as an overview of the field, "the exact book a beginning gardener needs" presented as sort of a conversation with a knowledgeable friend over a virtual garden fence.
As might be expected, I am partial to her Herb Gardens chapter that includes herb care, plant types, harvesting, seed saving, drying and a profile of her fave herb garden, Little Herb House in Raleigh.
Some of her other essays that I especially enjoy are Fragrance in the Garden, Sound in the Garden and Layers of Light.
Which chapters are your favorites?
