The Victory Garden Companion

by Michael Weishan, Laurie Donnelly



      Victory Garden's latest host, Michael Weishan, brings PBS Victory Garden viewers nine chapters of ideas and visual motivation for their gardens. Each chapter addresses something gardeners address or desire in their gardens. There are various subjects: the value of views, the interest in exits, braving the elements of weather, fixtures and features for the garden, lawns, the power of flowers, mixing eatable gardens with flowers and such, berry gardens, and urban gardens -which, by the way, have some spectacular views.

With each chapter, Weishan offers weekend projects with easy instructions. At the end of each chapter is an "Inspired Garden." These are truly awe inspiring. There's so much information and inspiration; it's a book to enjoy all year 'round. My favorite is the succulent idea. I saw it on the show and can appreciate having it on my shelf, within reach, to quickly share with others.

The Victory Garden Companion will help you create a front yard to be proud of and a back yard to either share or covet. Discover your garden or create a secret one on your balcony.
