This is an abridged version of the original book, with beautiful forest photography from around the world. The writing isn‘t the best, possibly a combo of the translation from German and the abridgment. But for me still interesting and worth reading to absorb the nature pics. Still lots of good info! I may pick up the full book at some point. 🌲🌳🌿💚

Fr3NcHtOaSt The full book was amazing. I need to check this one out. 4w

planting plans? when do you start planning? What are you planning?
So far my plans are “sort of” simple. I‘m going to try and grow lavender from seed using my greenhouse- so i can plant it around the fenced in part of my yard. My other plans are zinnias and Sunflowers and wildflowers. My last plan is adding 2 plum trees and an apple tree- and using farmers markets for all my fresh food needs. #natuaralitsy #litsolace #springequinox

Princess-Kingofkings I placed an order from Burpee yesterday. For the first time, I ordered a Buddleia plant. They say the butterflies love it! 🦋 1mo

Mehso-so

This book gets full marks for being absolutely lovely, with tons of beautiful photographs. However, while the theme was good, the material was very repetitive. They gave the steps for planning a garden (found in virtually any gardening book: hardscape, focal points, anchor plants, filler plants, groundcover), then said, “you can replace any of your regular plants with edible plants!!“ and then covered the same steps for your front yard, back yard⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) and containers, so they ended up saying the same things a lot. There were a few interesting ideas, but these authors are also from SoCal, so while they threw out some little possibilities for those of us who live where the land freezes half the year, it definitely felt like the focus was on people who can garden pretty much year round. A nice book to page through, but it didn't really bring anything unique to the table for me. 1mo

2/5⭐ Aside from a handful of charts, any useful information in this book is buried in bloated paragraphs of repetition and padding. Even just skimming the majority of pages was a frustrating experience. Though images were often the same set from different angles, they were cute.

@AllDebooks THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS PACKAGE! The 🍫 won't last long 😂

A yearly Xmas tradition in our house is to watch The Tailor of Gloucester, so I'm really excited for the tagged book to find out the meanings (although when I unwrapped it, I struggled to remember if there were any 💐 in the story! 😂)

The Fair Botanists has been on my radar for a while, so you've finally given me the motivation to read it 😂

AllDebooks So glad you like it. Enjoy x 3mo
