Reader ReviewsI'm generally not a fan of gardening books, but this was an enjoyable and informative read. Most surprisingly, it's changed my approach to gardening. I hadn't considered my relationship with nature beyond trying to garden organically and not waste natural resources. Having read Danaan's book, I'm seeing my relationship with the land as more than simply scientific, and it has enriched gardening for me.
