Droll, Droll, Practical, Droll

Wonderfully peculiar -- this book describes the successes and failures that occur when a family moves from Johannesburg to Denver and begins a garden from scratch. Thus, we have practical advice (particularly regarding xeriscape options in dry climates), random observations, musings about slugs, and amusing narrative. Here's how the dustcover puts it... "This is neither a conventional nor a scholarly gardening book. While it describes how the garden was created from scratch over ten years using common sense and common plants, there are passages deovted to incompetent landscapers, the hiring of relable help and a chapter about tea and tea parties." "The books includes useful tips, advice and design ideas. There are also some midly amusing observations, as well as approximately 160 quite nice, full color photographs."
