Press Coverage

“Energy emanates from this book, which seems odd since it’s about growing vegetables.”

— Toronto Star, March 2011

“One of six Canadian books that will change the way you garden — and eat” “Witty and informative”

— Globe and Mail, August 2012

“This is a colourful, wildly whimsical book about gardening! …Every single page bursts with information and fun design. The stated goal of the book is ‘To empower gardeners with practical, No Guff gardening advice.’ Mission accomplished.”

— Urban Farm Magazine, March 2012

“Occasionally in a librarian’s life (retired or otherwise), a book will arrive that causes immediate bibliomania. A book that is so different, so appealing, and upon reading it, so completely perfect, that it must be shown with great excitement to everyone who loves books.

— Gabriola Sounder, March 2011
