I purchased this book as a novice gardener and after reading it, boy do I feel inspired! Mar Jennings offers so many innovative and fresh ideas that I plan to try myself; his insight and tips make even a new gardener like myself feel like I can do it all! The pictures are amazing and fun and best of all, you can really feel the love and passion that Mar has for gardening, his cute dog Corky, and just living a bright and happy life. You will be more than happy with this purchase and it's also a great gift idea. Thanks Mar and I hope there are many more books to come!
