Best of Green Space

Best of Green Space: 30 Years of Composted Columns, by Duane Campbell, with ink drawings by Betty Mackey. Here is garden technique, duffer to advanced, crossed with curmudgeonly humor. This book gives you Duane Campbell's famous great cheapological garden advice and many a laugh from January through December. His widely syndicated newspaper columns have been a hit with readers for over 30 years. 'This is really going to scare Duane Campbell, but I think we're identical twins separated at birth. Why? Two reasons: we love the same plants and we both know humor, not boredom, is what makes readers read. His new book, Best of Green Space: 30 Years of Composted Columns, is a laugh-out-loud gem that deserves a place on your bookshelf. By the end of the first page you'll understand why 'humorous writing' is not necessarily an oxymoron for garden book writers. And by the end of the book you'll have a large dose of accurate gardening advice from a writer who obviously has great taste in plants.' -Art Wolk, Author of Garden Lunacy: A Growing Concern and legendary plantsman 'Duane Campbell has a plaque in his garden that says, 'Work is for people who don't know how to garden.' Well, by that logic, if you read this book you won't have to work-because you'll sure know how to garden. Best of Green Space is full of here's-what-I-figured-out advice, all delivered in an affable but no-nonsense voice from someone who is clearly a hands-on, dirty-nailed, and green-thumbed gardener. No wonder people have been reading Campbell's column for 30 years!' -Pat Stone, Editor, GreenPrints, 'The Weeder's Digest.'
