Reviews for The Green Gardening Handbook: Grow, Eat and Enjoy

"Nancy has done it again! The perfect read taking us back to basics in our gardens. As a beginner gardener I am now excited to get started, I'll be a pro by the end of the year! -- <b>Sophie Liard, The Folding Lady</b> I, like Nancy, am happiest in my garden. But I am yet to properly venture into growing food we actually eat because I am never quite sure if I am doing it right. Having Nancy's reassuring voice guide me through it all will fill me with the confidence needed to give it a whirl! When in a home or garden pickle, I often think, ""What does Nancy say about this?"" and there is always something to try! Everyone should have her collection of books at home! -- <b>Daisy Upton, The Five Minute Mum</b>"
