Deep-Rooted Wisdom: Skills and Stories from Generations of Gardeners

One can seldom take the wrong path when listening to, or reading, words of wisdom. This book by Augustus Farmer reveals tidbit tips of advice about gardening. Skills are often learned from Master Gardeners if one will pause a few moments to listen and try to understand. Many gardening mistakes and costly errors could be avoided. Pleasurable adventures await you, first by reading, absorbing, and practicing these methods. Experience sets good examples. I enjoyed following along another's pathway.

I really didn't expect much from this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. Garden writers and gardeners are two different species, usually, but Jenks does a pretty good job as both. There is a lot of very useful information this book. I've recommended it to my fellow gardeners.

I haven't finished this book but I love it. Easy to read and full of good information. A great read

Fun read with lots of sensible and entertaining information for anyone who loves plants, landscaping and to get his/her hands dirty.

Very good reading

I am an avid Organic gardener and learned a few more procedures that will be useful. Well written.

Excellent book. Great gardening information and tips. Historical information was good and some humor added to the whole. Suggested my friends should buy it !

This book brought back many great memories of gardening with my Great Grand Mother, my Grand Mother and of course my Mom. Great ideas and interesting facts...I am thrilled I live so close.

I had a bit of trouble following his thought processes as they were obviously very different from mine. Some of the things he is revealing are a bit obvious to me. Never the less it is good to read something different and to read another persons view of things from the south of the U.S.A.

a wonderful read - full of gems on the wisdom of old style gardening plus lots of new information explaining modern landscape practices in a no nonsense way. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
