Growing up, my parents were always avid gardeners and I struggled to see the attraction. But as I've gotten older and gotten my own place I've started a bit of gardening myself. The only problem is, I was never very good at. After reading this book, I have a feeling that all that is about to change. All the stuff my parents talk about that I never understood before is suddenly much more clear. I feel like I know how to garden properly now, and have a clear direction of what I want to do with my garden. Overall, great book!

I finally understand what my parents are talking about!

I’ve tried getting into gardening before, but it always felt like info overload. This audiobook made everything click. The narrator has this chill, almost goofy tone that kept me hooked and the tips actually work. I’m in a weird climate, so hearing how to adapt planting for different seasons was huge. I’ve already got herbs sprouting and tomatoes on the way. Never thought I’d be that person excited about compost… but here we are. Definitely worth the listen.
