Customer Reviews

A Joy for all! Especially if you love Toronto!

I don't remember exactly how i came to find the publisher's website or this book...but I hunted it down and found it a quiet, peaceful and joyful book about life in the garden and respect for nature, and taking the time to appreciate and respect it, a lesson for human-kind as well. I was so intrigued and inspired that on a visit to Toronto I hunted down a walking guide who took me to the area of Toronto mentioned in the book (Cabbagetown). I, and my canine daughter, had a wonderful time, and I owe it all to this author and her book. We're looking forward to returning again. P.S. I am a social worker and when admiring someone's beautiful back yard, we began talking about the book, and she was anxious to track it down as well!

A lovely picturebook

Good reading skills are recommended for this lush title which blends botany and memories of plants and people. A variety of gardens are profiled, adventures in them are detailed, and young gardeners receive inspirational insights on gardens and beauty. A lovely picturebook.
