"I found it liberating to be given an excuse to ditch some of my
backbreaking chores. Who's waiting to grow old? I'm preparing for
the future right now. You can tuck this perfect gift into your
basket." --New York Times Book Review
"Sydney Eddison is my kind of garden writer, now passing along
wisdom acquired from 50 years. No BS, no rhetoric. Trust this
writer; she knows what she's talking about." --Garden Rant
