"...a must-have manual for anyone who shares home or office space with potted plants." Booklist

“Life is full of mysteries, but one thing I know for sure. We are meant to enjoy each day that we spend on Earth, which happens quite naturally when you nurture a garden.”

“I think of herbs as Nature’s treasure plants because they are such rich stores of goodness. They can delight your senses, improve your diet, boost your immune system, help you rest, sharpen your mind, and make you smell nice, too.”

Square One Publishers, 2004
ISBN 0-7570-0080-0, $14.95

“Used creatively, stone turns us into movers of mountains and students of the passage of time. This is the essence of gardening with stone.”

ISBN 1-50817-406-X Hardcover, $29.95

“Managing pest problems using only gentle, earth-safe methods of control does not require gardeners to lower the quality standards of the food they grow. Rather, it involves a heightened respect for nature, a willingness to be entertained and intrigued, and increased expectations of yourself as a gardener.”

Storey Books, 1994
ISBN 0-88266-609-6, $14.95

“Garden weeds are experts at colonizing disturbed soil, which is exactly what a garden is to a weed: a space where the earth has been opened up like a wound that must be healed. For this much, weeds must be respected. Weeds, in turn, have no respect for a gardener’s goal of enriching land with beautiful, fragrant, delicious, and otherwise useful plants.”

Storey Books, 1996
ISBN 0-88266-921-4, $14.95
