review 1: This book explores the challenges of gardening as the gardener ages.It offers practical advice for more low maintenance gardens and discusses hiring help, switching to shrubs rather than perennials, and gives some advice on low care plants. Choosing whether to leave or stay in a garden that has taken a good part of one's life to create is the hardest decision. I was pleased that in the end, this award winning gardener chose to stay and give up her quest for perfection.
review 2: The (non-grammatical) subtitle of this book is “How to Garden Wiser as you Grow Older,” but it is actually a great book for anyone who simply doesn’t have time to keep up with the garden they have created. Sydney Eddison says “It took a great deal of time and energy to make th... moree garden as hard to manage as it ultimately became…” I know the feeling very well. This is a delightful book—very chatty and fun to read and filled with really good advice. No photos—just some nice black and white drawings to illustrate her points. I’ve taken it out of the library twice, and think I’m going to buy a copy to keep for reference. less
