Julia Watkins has a wide variety of gardening experience, beginning with her grandparents' garden, gardening in a variety of jobs and in various sized backyards, even gardening as a Peace Corp worker in West Africa. Gardening for Everyone is a resource book organized by stages: planning, tending, building, planting, harvesting, and playing. She supplies plant profiles for many common kitchen garden plants. Watkins is definitely not a one size fits all gardener. She inspires gardeners with lots of options for creative use of space, even indoors. Her fun and practical ideas for playing will bring out the creative child in all of her readers. The photographs in this book are particularly beautiful and inspiring.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Gardening for Everyone from Mariner Books via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
