Review by Library Journal Review

Lifelong gardener Lautenbach, active on social media as AnyaTheGardenFairy, brings together tips, suggestions, and a general mindset of creating striking gardens in harmony with nature. She advocates utilizing plants propagated, divided, or grown from seed and objects found, swapped, thrifted, or repurposed. Her eco-conscious mindset and friendly, supportive style should appeal to newbie gardeners who see the merit in enjoying cost savings and a slower timeline instead of spending money for immediate results. The frequent garden photos are lovely, though some images of specific techniques and garden projects require a keen eye to discern full detail. VERDICT Of most interest to beginning gardeners.
