Rave Reviews!
"I am all thumbs, and none of them are green. I have spent many years trying to grow various plants, looking for help from as many resources I could find with no success. I even managed to kill an aloe plant. The book provides everything you need to know to succeed in the art of gardening, especially for those who know what to plant but have no idea when to plant. Get Your Hands Dirty offers something other gardening resources do not--a way to create your own garden thorough building a relationship with your land." - Tammi Reynolds, reader
"If you've been overwhelmed before about the volumes of information that you thought you needed to read before starting the garden you've always wanted, Get Your Hands Dirty is here to save the day. It is the essential guide for beginners and a perfect refresher for old hands. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in having a garden." - Kathleen Roberts, Master Gardener
"This one really works. I was even able to grow an herb garden last year." - Barb, in a comment left on Pinterest
