For the passionate gardener, this is the calendar that provides both practical guidance and enthusiasm to inspire.
Grieving A Loss I have adored the pictures & breif information on the daily pages for several years. I thought I had waited too late to purchase the 2003 calendar and missed out. I have waited a very long year for the 2004 edition. Now that I understand what has happened, I feel I have learned of the death of a dear friend. I only hope that we see this calendar again in its former glory!
365 Days in the Garden Calendar - 2002 I loved my 2002 calendar and asked for the 2003 version for Christmas. I am SO DISAPOINTED to learn that one was not printed for 2003 (although there was SO much in the 2002 I wondered how one could write a similar calendar for 365 more days). True gardeners want gardening tips rather than pictures! Pictures are for the ones who aren't serious gardeners. Please bring Barbara Damrosch's advice back for 2004.
surprisingly better At first, like many others apparantly, I was disappointed that the beautiful color pictures on each page of this calendar series were gone. Then I settled into reading the text and realized immediately that the pictures were taking up valuable space better used by this author's truly impressive store of knowledge. I learned a great deal and was inspired to garden in new and imaginative ways.
I miss the old days I have bought this calendar for many years. Last year I was very diasppointed to see that all the wonderful pictures have been replaced with facts and garden "lore". I loved the pictures that the previous calendars had. I think I'll buy The Far Side this year.
I Wanted Pictures!!! I eagerly anticipated the arrival of this box calendar since the one I had purchased the year before was so enjoyable. When I open it up I was very disapointed to find text only. I wanted color, flowers, trees and secret gardens! Back to the store it went. In future I will peruse the calendar before I purchase it.
