This review is from: Pocket gardening: A guide to gardening in impossible places (Paperback)
Marjorie Harris is a wonderful writer with a gift for friendly and enjoyable prose. Pocket Gardening [now available in an updated edition - I have both!] is a great look at gardening in the city and in unlikely places. Harris addresses unsightly neighbours, unsaintly neighbours, plants, peculiar places and possibilities in a delightfully practical way - it's like sitting on the deck chatting over tea with an old friend. Very enjoyable!
Readers from points south probably want to know that Harris does concentrate on Canada and plants which are successful in Canada - Canadians, sick of books describing plants from the UK or California that just don't grow up north will be delighted!
