I am a new and excited gardener, but I've found winter to be incredibly frustrating. This lovely book offered some great ideas for how to keep up the garden practice even when digging in the dirt is not possible. I'm excited to take on more of the projects and ideas as the weather gets warmer. This is a lovely companion to a more in-depth guide to gardening with lovely little tips for keeping a practice.

Very superficial book about gardening. I’m not sure what sort of garden this book would bring about. Nothing really useful unless you’ve never gardened before

I enjoyed this book of practical gardening tips. The photos complimented the text very well. This book includes many tips that any gardener could put into practice immediately!

Packed full of gorgeous pictures, both of plants and garden in progress, “The 30-Minute Gardener” is more of a philosophy than a how to manual.

Loades speaks movingly and lovingly of the process of gardening, taking you through a year in the life. Tips and lists for each stage of the garden are laid out and explained well, and Loades never assumes your level of expertise. I found this inspiring for my upcoming move and have taken note of rose varieties he particularly recommends. (Princess Anne, Felicia, Lady of Shalott, Roald Dahl, The Lady Gardener)

I appreciated his way of writing as he lives in Britain and I live in Southern Alberta (as I write this, there is a good 18 inches of snow and it's been well below freezing for the last month) and I find it not discouraging exactly, but a little disheartening when I get into a gardening book and realize part way through that the author lives in such a different climate than I do that there's no way I can grow what they do.

“The 30 Minute Gardener” is well worth a read, it's a lovely soothing book that makes you think that yes, you can do this!

I want to live in these photos! Beautiful flowers and garden! I’ve been into gardening books every since I got my new house. I can’t wait to start planting. This books has a lot of tips and tricks. The flowers in the photos look so so pretty! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I got about a third of the way through but unfortunately I am not going to be able to finish this one. I felt like it talked more about things you could do vs ways to actually do them.

Thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you NetGalley and the Publisher for the advanced readers copy.

This is going in my next engagement/newhome/wedding gift basket along with a nursery gift card.
Simple to read wonderful photography and so many great ideas. Well done!

I must admit I am addicted to books on gardening and this is one of my all time favorites. Reading this book is like having a friend who is determined to inspire you and help with guidance and experience. The photography is gorgeous.
