MASTER GARDENER RAVES ABOUT ‘GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY’
“This book is an ideal how-to guide for the beginning gardener. With an increasing number of new gardeners in the U.S., according to a recent report by the National Gardening Association, there has never been a better time for this comprehensive guide.
Author Jeanne Grunert walks fledgling gardeners through all the basics with ease. Even the most hesitant beginner will find potentially complicated subjects simple to understand and incorporate into their new gardens. Everything is concisely covered, from herbs to flowers to vegetables.
You’ll start off with some worksheets to add substance to your garden-related dreams and goals. Then you’ll dispel some common garden myths that may have held you back from beginning that first garden project. Next you’ll discover the basic equipment you need–which isn’t as much as you may think! Finally, you’ll uncover the real basics: light, shade, soil, compost, water, plant types and more. All are presented in ways anyone can understand.
Jeanne Grunert shows you that you don’t have to be a scientist to have a successful, thriving garden.
If you’ve been overwhelmed before about the volumes of information that you thought you needed to read before starting the garden you’ve always wanted, Get Your Hands Dirty is here to save the day. It is the essential guide for beginners and a perfect refresher for old hands. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in having a garden.”
Customers Love Get Your Hands Dirty Too!
“I am all thumbs, and none of them are green. I have spent many years trying to grow various plants, looking for help from as many resources I could find with no success. I even managed to kill an aloe plant. After reading Get Your Hands Dirty: A Beginner’s Guide to Gardening I finally discovered that I had been trying to plant someone else’s garden all these years.
The author provides the resources you need to create a garden that suits your region as well as your lifestyle. The practical guide offers simple exercises combined with information about which plants suit specific environments. The book provides everything you need to know to succeed in the art of gardening, especially for those who know what to plant but have no idea when to plant. Get Your Hands Dirty offers something other gardening resources do not–a way to create your own garden thorough building a relationship with your land.”
