"this is interesting if you're making a garden which i'm not at the moment at least. the herb info was a little general/list-like. i did learn alot more about the indigenous medicine wheel idea though so that was kind of cool."
"part of me wants to cringe at the exploitation of Native American culture...the other part of me cannot stay away from gardening books. what i liked about this book was this man's experience with finding a deep, almost spiritual connection with his gardens, and being aware of the mood and energy one creates. a good garden should do that. he also stresses respect for local plantlife instead of tearing everything out for prepacked Home Depot plants. what i did not like was the use of what seemed liked New Age poof filling in the blanks of what we just can't know of Native American spirituality. his tone is never disrespectful but it is unfortunate that things must be stretched all out of proportion to be more compatible with our "western" ideas."
