Book Reviews As we find books on the market that help us all garden forever, we will review them here. We've started with one on dealing with allergies in the garden and another that takes a lighter look at gardening. Enjoy!
Allergy-Free Gardening by Thomas Leo Ogren, reviewed by Dr. Daniel E. Krieger This important book allergy-ranks thousands of plants and includes zone maps, illustrations and lots of tips of cultural things to help reduce pollen and spores in the garden. A Garden of Love & Healing Living Tributes to Those We Have Loved and Lost by Marsha Olson, MA "It is my hope that this book will help those who are suffering from loss and find a sense of connection to the greater power that infuses all life and to experience a profound healing beyond that of just 'getting back to normal. In a garden of love and healing, we can come to understand the paradox that, while we are of the earth, we are also part of something much, much larger." —Marsha Olson, author			Diary of a Mad Gardener by David Hobson, reviewed by Beverley Mitchell Gardening is sometimes such a serious business but David Hobson shows the lighter side and helps us laugh at the often obsessive behaviour that gardeners exhibit. GRACE FROM THE GARDEN Changing the World One Garden at a Time By Debra Landwehr Engle Gardens are gifts that are shared between gardeners and their communities. Engle shares her visions and that of twenty other gardeners across the country, who were inspired to use their gardens for a greater purpose.
