These days gardening fashion has gotten away from the kind of gardening that satisfies men. It s all about perennials, and island beds, and native plants, and integrated landscapes, and smaller lawns all that delicate, environmental, sensitive stuff. This explains why there are no guides to gardening for guys. There are gardening books for dummies, for kids, for cheapskates, for the ridiculously wealthy but no gardening books for guys. All right, I admit it.
Fashion has nothing to do with the lack of men s garden guides.
