This is a well done how-to book with a lot of cute projects. The photography was lovely and the tutorial items were easy to follow. Gave me a lot of good ideas for projects that I can't wait to try out! - NetGalley
Well this is the most fun I've had "gardening" in a very long time. My daughter and i spent a long time planning the perfect fairy garden to try and outdo the book. It's a work in progress but its nice to see her so excited about a crafty project. - NetGalley
