Another Splash of the Gin and Tonic Gardener by Wells, Janice - 2008

Toronto: Key Porter Books, 2008 In her best-selling book, The Gin and Tonic Gardener, Janice Wells encouraged gardeners and non-gardeners alike with her frank and funny journal about gardening successes and failures. Another Splash of Gin and Tonic chronicles this knowledgeable but irreverent gardener's next two years as she endeavors to create a low budget gin-and-tonic garden. Readers tag along with her as she scours yard sales for perennials; they learn about her strange aversion to grass, her ongoing battles with rocky soil, and her unattractive chain link fence. Clearly a compulsive gardener, Wells balances humor and an affinity for the hammock and a good book with her quest for the old-fashioned cottage garden of her dreams. Full of wit, wisdom, and tips, this spirited book inspires and entertains in equal measure.. 1st Can Ed.. Hardcover. New/New.
