Description

Do you enjoy natural beauty but don't have the time to cultivate a garden?
Have you always longed for a beautiful yard, but find the idea of self-imposed yard work downright unpleasant?
For busy people who want to have a garden but don't have the time or don't want to spend the time.

The Lazy Gardener tells us how to decrease the effort and increase the enjoyment of having a garden, in an amusing but practical way. Readers can get right to the heart of their problems by starting with a fun, hands-on quiz called HELP I'm Too Busy to Read This Book, or spend a leisurely afternoon reading the book from cover to cover.
