Critics Review
Maverick Gardeners is a reflective look at feeling good about oneself while hoeing your own row. This inspirational book takes a look at both the art and humanity of gardening and serves as affirmation, a constant reminder that we all get to choose what beat we march to.–Greg Grant, coauthor of Heirloom Gardening in the South and The Rose Rustlers
Felder Rushing, by no means a conventional gardener himself, has just written a book about all those oddball, eccentric, beat-of-their-own-drummers ‘Keepers of the Garden Flame.’ Maverick Gardeners is an utterly charming ode to the offbeat, I-garden-my-way individualists who plot their own horticultural pathways through life. His tale of his friendship with Mississippi gardener Dr. Dirt, and how it ended, is especially moving. Both Trowels Up for this one!–Pat Stone, editor, GreenPrints, “The Weeder’s Digest”
