| Summary |
First published in 1975, this classic companion planting guide has taught a generation of gardeners how to use plants' natural partnerships to produce bigger and better harvests. Louise Riotte (1909-1998) was one of North America's most beloved gardeners. Her warm, witty writings on companion planting and gardening lore are American folk wisdom at its finest. Riotte wrote 12 books in her lifetime, including Roses Love Garlic, Astrological Gardening, and Sleeping with a Sunflower. |
