The most comprehensive, entertaining, down-to-earth one-volume gardening reference ever, and highly praised:

"Barbara Damrosch delivers the goods."--Chicago Tribune
"Best of the crop."--House Beautiful
"Barbara Damrosch's writing has the snap of a good snowpea and the spice of an old rose."--The Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer
"Covers just about everything you could think of and then some." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"An extraordinarily comprehensive guide." -- The San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle
"Takes your soaring visions of garden splendor and plants them firmly in the ground."--The Toronto Star

Now the beloved classic is revised front-to-back. The new edition has gone 100% organic, which in Barbara Damrosch's hands also means completely accessible. It reflects the latest research on plants, soils, tools, and techniques. There is updated and expanded information on planning a garden, recommended plants, and best tools. Ecological issues are addressed much more extensively, covering lawn alternatives, the benefits of native species, wildlife-friendly gardens, and how to avoid harmful invasive species. More attention is paid to plants appropriate to the South, Southwest, and West Coast, while cold-climate gardeners are given detailed advice on how to extend the growing season. Simply put, the book is a richer and fuller compendium than ever before, with more text, more illustrations and garden plans, expanded plant lists, and gardener's resources. But Barbara Damrosch's core of practical, creative ideas and friendly style remain--she is still an "old-fashioned dirt gardener" at heart.

Great Quality Natural Fabric Dress
Size: X-Large, Color: White
This dress was everything the reviews said - nice weight, well made, and great fabric. The suggested size matched my usual size, and it fit like a glove. That said, there was no extra room, and the fabric has no stretch. I’m 5'9" and prefer long dresses to be closer to ankle length, but this one hit at an awkward length on me. For the price, it wasn’t worth keeping, though I do think it’s fairly priced for the quality. Nowadays it’s hard to find clothing in cotton or cotton/linen blends, so I really appreciate that it’s not made from synthetic fabric.

Disappointing second one with a damaged zipper
Size: Medium, Color: Iceberg Green
This is maybe the 5th Drop linen dress I have purcahsed different version for my two girls and I and this is the second one I have received with a damaged zipper. It is disappointing they fit well and are well made . I am not sure if the last two I have received were returned items.

Nice quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Very nice fit and material. I’m a size 14 & the XXL fits well - maybe a tad bit big, but I didn’t want it to be fit uncomfortably tight either. My only complaint is that the side zipper gets stuck right where the pocket is. But I am able to put the dress on without having to open & close the Ipper.
