Although I am not a gardener--I joke that I have a black thumb, I do understand the attraction and love to walk through communal gardens and so forth. In this early book, Michael Pollan, known now for ... Leggi recensione completa

I like Michael Pollan just fine, although his extremely digressive style gets on my nerves probably more than it should. There were a lot of interesting tidbits in here - I particularly liked the ... Leggi recensione completa

Recensione dell'utente - Courtney - Goodreads

While there are some interesting nuggets in this book if you are not a gardener it is painful to try and read endless chapters waxing prosaic about weeds, roses and seed catalogs. Leggi recensione completa
