COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Little Usable Information submitted by glenna on July 12, 2021, 11:04pm It's very clear that Sydney Eddison has had a lifelong attraction and involvement with landscape design and plants. This book was intended to provide older individuals with advice on how to continue to be involved when they start to have physical problems. I think the book didn't deliver very well and the information was covered twice - once during the chapter and then again at the end during her summary.
