Summary: Working a Magickal Garden
Comment: Ellen Dugan is a Master Gardner received from the University of Missouri and has many years experience in nurseries and gardens. In this book, Ms. Dugan gives us the basics of gardening and she does it well.
Ms. Dugan is also a Witch, and her gardening techniques include the basics of craft correspondences and practices. Discussions include seasonal plantings, using trees, herbs and plants to enhance your yard, garden and home. Included are histories behind plants and trees and the associations with our holidays, folklore and even faerys making this a well rounded guide. There are some nice correspondence tables for everything from tree and flower magic and meanings to suggested layouts for your beginning gardens. This book is nicely researched and includes practical material for both the beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.
There are also special little "magickal" additions to be had in the book. From charm bags, to garden supplies,to bath salts with herbal additions from your garden, Ms. Dugan has included many nice additions to make this an all around garden book.
There is a table of contents, an index, a glossary, a nice bibliography and even a gardening journal for you to keep notes. The illustrations by Kerigwen are are simply icing on the cake.
This is a nice volume on witchy gardening, and is intelligent in its approach while being easy to use and a good overall reference book.

Summary: Informative and Pragmatic
Comment: I also would like to disagree with the reader from Jersey who completely slammed Garden Witchery. As a gardener with a couple years experience, I found this book to be quite useful. This book includes help/ideas on how to plan a garden, it goes over the different types of gardens, has info on pH levels in soil, fertilization, how to take care of your garden (i.e. pruning, dead-heading, etc.) and also includes fun "magical" correspondences to plants, flowers and trees. If you love to garden, you will enjoy this book, even if you're not into the whole "magical" aspect of it all. Even then, that information is at least fun and interesting to read. Honestly, when I was finished with the book, I wanted to run out and plant pumpkins! Read the book- you'll see...

Summary: Pesticides and Chemicals in the Wiccan garden??
Comment: I was very excited when I found this book. Gardening and Wicca - what could be better!?! Obviously, quite a bit could be better. I was very, very disappointed and quite honestly very disturbed that a self-proclaimed practicing witch condones the use of pesticides and chemicals. Excuse me, but what happened to "HARM NONE"? Anyone with an elementary knowledge of nature knows that any chemicals and pesticides used in the garden kill bees (an extremely vital link in our ecological chain), not to mention other beneficial insects. After one season of being plagued with squash beetles, she gave up and used chemicals!?!? What does that teach anyone? If you truly want to be in balance with nature, you must be a purist or at the very least practicing organic methods (beware some organic products harm bees too). There are ways to save your crops and not damage the environment. The great wise women and men of old didn't have Miracle-Gro and bug spray. Please. They learned to live in balance with nature and let nature help them.
