- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked it, I would love if many of the ideas would work but in my postage stamp garden a lot of this is fantasy. This is also not a book for a part-time gardener, or the "occasionally when I have the energy and it isn't teaming down" gardener like me, this is a book for someone who wants to transform their garden into an idyll. She is a person who believes in the genus loci and in communing with them and this may really not appeal to some (some may refer to this as woo, I'm not opposed to this but YMMV). Some of her comments are interesting in light of 70% or so decrease in insect life and I'm sure if you could follow some of her precepts you'd have a very sustainable garden. I'm happy with my 4 bottles of Grape Jelly from my back yard, abundance of lavender and delicious strawberries, I would like it to be better but don't have the time or energy to follow her.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely magical book that I put now among my most beloved books. Mary Reynolds speaks right to my gardening heart as if we have been friends for years. Even the smallest of details resonate with me. The Garden Awakening is a combination of storytelling, mysticism, and common sense that left me energized and hopeful that we can nurture this land and ourselves back to a sustainable serenity in which we can all thrive.
