Book summary

Allen Lacy became one of the world's foremost garden experts as the result of the newsletter he wrote for many years, as well as many delightful and influential books. Taking time away from his "day job" as a philosophy professor, Lacy created a capacious and thriving garden in his New Jersey back yard, and wrote about it with unpretentious humor and much good practical advice. Famous for his wit, style, and thorough professionalism, Lacy is an excellent guide (and true inspiration) for any kind of gardener, from the professional to the beginner to the dreamer without a patch of dirt to dig in.
