I received this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. I loved the stories about famous and non-famous people and their gardens. I think the book could have done with some photography or pictures to go along with the stories. I see this being a gift for gardeners and those who love the outdoors.

This is a nice collection of quotes about gardening. I enjoyed reading through them but the digital copy did not have the same feel that a hardback book would have. Overall, I enjoyed it.

What a delightful find. This is a book of quotes, short paragraphs etc that gives helpful hints and encouragement to anyone that spends time outdoors. The novice gardener and large farmers will enjoy picking up this book and opening it to any random page for some sage advice. Perfect gift for anyone on your list that likes plants. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book is so cute and I love all the wisdom in it. I was so happy to receive a digital copy of this for review; it makes me miss gardening and being outside. There are so many quotes and just little sayings that are fun to read and that I wrote down because I loved the feeling they gave me. I loved reading this and can't wait to get a hard copy to keep in my collection!

A fabulous collection of gardening quotes. It takes no more than 20 minutes to enjoy this book. However, I saved at least a dozen sayings for future reference. Great read!

Thanks to #NetGalley, I had an advanced PDF to read and review.

What a beautiful book for gardeners! It's full of lovely quotes and sayings that all have to do with flowers, vegetables, gardens, and love of playing in the dirt!

I enjoyed all of it. The author picked an excellent selection of quotes, some I was familiar with and some new to add to my collection.

The book would make a perfect gift to give a gardening friend.

One of my favorites from the book is...

"AS LONG AS ONE HAS A GARDEN, ONE HAS A FUTURE; AND AS LONG AS ONE HAS A FUTURE ONE IS ALIVE."
~~~Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849– 1924)

* I was provided an ARC to read from the publisher and NetGalley. It was my decision to read and review this book.

I love, love, love this volume but must admit it combines my obsession with quotes and my love of flower gardening.

Any gardener on your gift list will simply relish this book of wisdome.
