A Year in Christine's Garden | Hardback

A truly inspirational read. It's a book about the year in the life of a lady who truly eats, sleeps and dreams about gardening. It just makes you want to go out and have a go. It makes you feel that anybody can garden and it's true, just have a go, it's very good for you. Anything is possible and her enthusiasm is very catching. It's a joy to read and reminds you constantly about what's important in life. If I am feeling sad, I only have to read afew pages to feel and realise what's important in life - gardening!! The only thing missing is the DVD of series 1 and 2, please hurry up!!

While I enjoyed reading this book, I feel that the title is misleading. I had hoped it would be all about gardening throughout one year in Christine's own garden. In fact, it is about the making of the series "A Year in Christine's Garden" with just a few gardening tips along the way and an account of her visits to clients and lecturing responsibilities. In reality, I feel it should have been entitled 'A Year OF "Christine's Garden"' so that anyone like me, who was hoping for a month-by-month account of gardening tips will not be disappointed.
