Summary: Like visiting grandma's garden
Comment: My mother and I both really enjoyed this book. The gardens pictures reminded us both of my grandmother's garden. The book doesn't just show garden pictures though. It explains why Black gardens tend to look the way they do. I always thought my grandmother kept a dirt front yard because nothing would grow there. The book explained that this practice was a common method of controlling the bug population. I'd reccomend this book to anyone who loves gardens or has an interest in anthropology.

Summary: Wonderful Pros
Comment: Richare Westmacott writes this book with love. Not a native of Georgia, you wouldn't know it from his wonderful depth of knowledge about the history of plants and gardening in the state. This book is good for gardeners, good for those who love Georgia and the south, and good for anyone who enjoys a well written book. Informative and entertaining and the perfect book to read in a hammock in the garden!
