Garden Witchery: Magick from the Ground Up
I have a hard time understanding why there are so many positive reviews here. This book is nothing but fluff. If you are anything more than a newbie, it's got nothing and if you're a complete newbie there's just enough information to be dangerous. She promises periodically that more information will be given about actually growing certain plants, but that information is never forthcoming.It's full of personal anectdotes that have little to do with the topic at hand, the tone is condescending and she encourages the use of poisons. She anthropomorphizes plants in an embarrassing way, telling a story about a poisonous plant she accidentally purchased as if it had a personal vendetta against her and her family. Her attitude toward plants goes beyond respect into something slightly off-kilter.The book is good for a giggle. If you must read it, make sure you have a firm grasp of both gardening and herbal magic first. Otherwise you could well follow this lady into lala land.

I have really enjoyed reading this book cover to cover. I have learned a lot and am using this book as a tool while re-vamping my new magickal garden! Thank you Ellen Dugan for your inspirational ideas!

I started my new garden as soon as I finished this book. I know it will always be a work in progress and I'm OK with that, in fact I love that it will be. As I change, my garden will be changing right with me. I no longer feel that I have to spend lots of money at the garden center, just use what comes naturaly!

I really liked this book and i do think anyone that has a little bit of garden or interior balcony space should read it. There are many nice idea's both for the city pagan and the country one.

I love this book. Ellen Dugan is funny, down-to-earth, and no-nonsense. She's so charming and informative that it's easy to forgive her unabashed adoration of knick-knacks and over-the-top holiday decorations. A real treat for a kindred garden witch. Thanks and write some more books please!

This is definitely the most informitive and intertaining books of study that I own. This book is written with a sense of humor and contains the information that both novice and practitioner will find invaluable. This book is an absolute necessity for any wiccan library.
