The two experienced garden designers Jörg Pfenningschmidt and Jonas Reif share their observations, infused with a good dose of self-irony and sarcasm, from their own and others' gardens. Here you can read what other gardening books prefer to ignore: children do not belong in the garden, men cannot prune shrubs, and roses are completely unnecessary. A humorous reckoning with the supposed promise of low-maintenance gardening, the eco-friendly lifestyle, easy gardening guides, and architects.
