 turning lawn into life Feb 25, 2006
Rebeccasreads recommends APPRENTICE TO A GARDEN as a meticulously detailed record of the author's four years of transforming the lawns around her first home in Minnesota.
With little dashes of humor she offers:
A Garden Germinates(First Winter)
First Plants
Greed
Growing Dreams
Beauty Is an Opinion
Gardens Are Four-dimensional & much, much more.
There are some neatly rendered diagrams, a full bibliography & an index of the plants she reintroduced to her landscape, although there is much need for photos of before & after.

 Simply delightful and thoughtful narrative Dec 22, 2005
I just loved this book! Hadden expresses her joys and challenges as she converts a barren, St. Paul city lot into a lush, semi-private garden. Along the way she learns which plants thrive in her environment and which ones don't. She also discovers an abundance of wildlife which slowly migrate to her yard. As the garden progresses, Hadden develops her own theories about gardening, ecology, nature's balance and even her neighbors as she tils her little plot of land in the city. Truely a delightful read which will inspire any gardener, novice to experienced - it all begins with a dream....
