Gardening in Miniature by Janit Calvo
Grade: A
If you’ve kept up with my blog, you know how I feel about the tiny gardens that grow on the rocks in the woods behind my house. And you know that I’ve considered adding little chairs and other human touches to them. I thought that I was the only one who felt the crazy itch to do those kinds of things. Then I saw this beautiful book at the library, and I knew that somewhere out there was another person even crazier than I (crazy enough to write a book about it!). How wonderful!
I was excited to borrow the book, and it did not disappoint. It contained advice about what to grow and where, information about sizing the accessories, instructions for making miniature patios and walkways, plus a couple of designs for newbies to follow. The pictures were great. I had to return the book to the library, but I might buy a copy of it someday.
