Good Berry Bad Berry by Helen Yoest is a berry fine little spiral-bound guide to slip into a backpack while out in the field or take to a nursery when deciding what berries to plant on your property. -- Jill Sell * Gardening books will inspire homeowners whether they live in the city or country *
From Joe Lamp'l, host of HGTV's "Growing a Greener World": "What a great resource! While I've often wondered which berries are good, bad or neutral, now I know and so glad I do. Even better, Helen offers so much additional and interesting information for each of the 40 berries (who knew) that we encounter in our gardens, landscapes and natural areas around the country. I'm thrilled to have this book as my one and only go-to guide on the topic."
