Inspiring and practical. Primeau includes gardens from various zones, including mine (a nice change - they don't usually come this far north). On the other hand, at least some of the articles on specific gardens were previously published in Canadian Gardening magazine.
I need to remember to come back to this one closer to spring. I love the idea of turning my yard into a garden oasis. Also, I hate cutting grass. Double win.
