The Lazy Gardener | Mara Grey & Vasily Kafanov

The Lazy Gardener by Mara Grey | Illustrations by Vasily Kafanov

• Do you enjoy natural beauty but dont 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 dont 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. The author covers everything from choosing the right plants for your environment to designing a manageable garden and paring down chores.

The book is illustrated with beautiful drawings by Vasily Kafanov.
