Instructive， inspiring。。。。wonderful！ Truly a delight of a book。 Felt like I was out in the garden with Liz， looking around， listening to her tell her story。 Not a how-to book， but I found many ideas and examples that I will put into practice in my own garden。 I particularly like how Liz is an experimenter in her garden - as I do the same。 Whatever your gardening level， from novice to pro， Liz's knowledge， experiences， and pure joy in living will inspire you。 Instructive， inspiring。。。。wonderful！ Truly a delight of a book。 Felt like I was out in the garden with Liz， looking around， listening to her tell her story。 Not a how-to book， but I found many ideas and examples that I will put into practice in my own garden。 I particularly like how Liz is an experimenter in her garden - as I do the same。 Whatever your gardening level， from novice to pro， Liz's knowledge， experiences， and pure joy in living will inspire you。 。。。more

There was so much of Liz's story that I could relate to， and I'm feeling incredibly inspired by what she's accomplished on her homestead。 There was so much of Liz's story that I could relate to， and I'm feeling incredibly inspired by what she's accomplished on her homestead。 。。。more

This is one of those books that is a pleasant surprise。 Expecting a story of plants and a garden instead it is a mini biography of risk and recovery AND the patient development of a food garden meant to both sustain and delight。 There is more than meets the eye and it is an engrossing tale， plainly told， with growing confidence and abundance。 It is both entirely believable and charming。 I have been eyeing crates discarded at the curb in my neighbourhood， ever since reading it。 Her and companion This is one of those books that is a pleasant surprise。 Expecting a story of plants and a garden instead it is a mini biography of risk and recovery AND the patient development of a food garden meant to both sustain and delight。 There is more than meets the eye and it is an engrossing tale， plainly told， with growing confidence and abundance。 It is both entirely believable and charming。 I have been eyeing crates discarded at the curb in my neighbourhood， ever since reading it。 Her and companion J's "later in life" journey to food security stands as a tribute to determination and resourcefulness。 。。。more

Loved itAn inspiring read - at a time when I needed it。 I too have a very windy， wet garden and it's great to see what can be achieved when the elements can be against you。 Loved itAn inspiring read - at a time when I needed it。 I too have a very windy， wet garden and it's great to see what can be achieved when the elements can be against you。 。。。more

I follow Liz on social media she is a wealth of knowledge and this book proves that you dont need alot of cash to change the way you live。

One of the best gardening-related books I have read in a long while。 Although this is not a gardening handbook， more of a personal memoir and life of a garden - it gives readers so much insight in what's happening behind the curtains。 I am kneeling and weeding my own gardening journey and it is so good to see and learn from others。 I will definitely re-read this in the winter months。 Good luck to Liz， Mr J and Byther Farm！ One of the best gardening-related books I have read in a long while。 Although this is not a gardening handbook， more of a personal memoir and life of a garden - it gives readers so much insight in what's happening behind the curtains。 I am kneeling and weeding my own gardening journey and it is so good to see and learn from others。 I will definitely re-read this in the winter months。 Good luck to Liz， Mr J and Byther Farm！ 。。。more

An outstanding， transparent account of of gardening and growing with immense intention through seasonal difficulties in the garden and in health。 Liz is a wonder， and she makes everything REAL。 something important to newer or dejected gardeners， particularly those with chronic health or precarious mental wellness。 Beautiful。

More a story of life and health than a gardening how-to， and perhaps more enjoyable because of it。

Loved reading about the journey of starting a new smallholding/homestead and the personal growth and changes as well。
