Editorial Reviews

"Nollman's work is as much about gardening as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is about motorcycles."—Eric Utne, Utne Reader

"Packed with useful information as well as mystical elaboration, Nollman's book responds to the needs of gardeners who want to transcend the limitations of Western traditional gardens."—Milwaukee Journal
