Summary: Very cool book!
Review: They say life began in a garden and so it did for me one day - I love gardening so much and to find a book like this pulls together a number of things I love to leartn about and play with. One of the things I love about this book is that its such a fun, easy read. There are quotes from the likes of Milton, Seton, Shakespeare, Wolfe, and lots of authors I'm not familiar with but who came up with some really neat lines. There's a section on moon gardening - something I've been planning to do and bought some additional books on. There's flower folklore which is always fun. There's a section on celebrations for the seasons, as well as a section on crafts (like making dream pillows, charm bags, etc.) For those new to gardening there are zone mapstips on planting certain plants (like trees), lists of magical plants & trees, flowers of the month (e.g. January is the month of the carnation - bestows energy & healing). Its just a really full, fun book that captivated me and inspire me to get rid-of more of the lawn and plant more gardens (using native plants of course :)

Summary: A MUST For Any Library
Review: This is one of the BEST books that I have found. Not only does the author tell you important information, she has a great sense of humor and style. This book not only tells you what herbs to use for what purpose, she also tells you how to grow them. I found this book just in time to start my own garden. I found so much important information, and now have a great garden growing. I have recommended this book to all my friends.

Summary: Enchanting read!
Review: This marvellous book is an instruction manual on how to create your own enchanted garden with trees, shrubs or flowers. It's not all airy-fairy stuff though, as it also deals with very practical matters like cold hardiness zones and soil requirements. In many ways the book provides delightful reading on the magical meaning of plants based on their shapes, fragrances and colours, plus sound advice on designing, maintaining and planning different kinds of enchanted spaces including shade, container, tree, shrub, groundcover, houseplant and fairy gardens. The text is interspersed with charming floral and herbal spells, faerie magick and information on feast days and the making of sachets, wreaths and charm bags. You'll be amazed at the wealth of practical applications and flower spells that are available to make life more interesting. Garden Witchery is an enchanting read as it takes one from practical gardening advice through magickal correspondences and flower folklore to the author's humorous observations and anecdotes. The book contains lovely illustrations and concludes with a glossary of terms, a bibliography and an index.

Summary: PUT SOME ~**~MAGICK~**~ IN YOUR YARD
Review: To repeat what others have said, this is a fun and informative book on how to continue your magickal self out to your yard. I love the tips on how to do discreet, subtle things (like knowing someone it the neighborhood is a witch because they plant red geraniums or red begonias in circles around their trees and in window boxes)as much as the larger, more obvious tricks.
The Author has a GREAT sense of humor and it seems like she is writing just for me.
I only wish their were pictures. Next book maybe??
You will enjoy this book.

Summary: This book will hold me over till Spring!!
Review: When I recieved my copy of Ellen Dugans Garden Witchery, I was impressed because it was so beautiful, as I thumbed through it, I couldn`t put it on the shelf. After reading it, I can tell you not only is this a lovely book, but this little gem is just full of lots of information on plants, flowers, magickal correspondences, and specialty gardens for the magickal practitioner. She inspires the reader to create a sacred space close to nature and commune with the spirits of magickal plants. This is getting back to why many people practice nature religions like Wicca and other forms of Paganism, reverence for the earth and nature! This book was a very refreshing escape from all the 101 books out there, although, I could see it being enjoyed by Witches and non Witches alike. All that is required is a love of nature, and an open mind. It seamlessly combines practical gardening informtion with magickal advice on when to plant, gardening with the cycles of the earth and moon, how to invite blessings into the garden, and more. Ellen Dugans warm and friendly writing style makes this book a joy to read and I even found myself snickering out loud at points. Mrs. Dugan even shares with us information about the language of flowers that she unearthed in a book from 1845! It is a treasure trove of Natural Magick, including practical spells, and Garden Witch crafts like dream pillows and charm bags. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Magick or gardening. I am now planning new additions to my gardens for the spring based on suggestions in Garden Witchery.

Summary: A Little Bit of Everything for a Witch's Garden
Review: Written in a friendly down to earth (no pun intended) style, this book contains gardening advice from both a practical and witchy perspective (with the emphasis on gardening). It includes detailed information on what kinds of plants do best in sun or shade, with the focus being on those that a witch would use most (moonlight gardens too). Tying into this are chapters on flower, tree and grown cover magick.
The chapters on flower folklore, faery magick and specialty gardens are "good to knows", especially for green witches. Those on the Esbats and Sabbats contain something for any witch interested in working with their gardens and what they produce during these times.
