Spotlight Reviews
Reviewer: ravenseldon from Everett, Washington USA
Dorothy has once again written a book without the all too often seen arcane ancient references to obscure systems of magick. Simply a straight forward approach to making a personal garden grow through infusing yourself into your chosen herbs, without needing a tome on extensive gardening or magickal techniques. A recommended study.

Reviewer: Oceana at the Realm from Boston, Massachusetts
Once again, I have found complete trust, and magic in a book by this author. Dorothy Morrison has been an inspiration in all my magickal workings and now she takes me to the garden. D.M. has shown me that magick can be simple and still effective while planting my herbs. I am fairly new to this aspect and this book has brought me right up to par. Anyone who plans to garden and bless their gardens with a pagan flavor, this is THE BOOK! Very well written as always from Morrison and made so I can enjoy as well as learn from it. I would tell anyone interested in pagan gardening to buy a copy of this book. Most excellent. Oceana at the Realm

Reviewer: Elaine DiMasi from Miller Place, NY USA
This books mixes the kind of gardening advice you could get from the most superficial coffee-table gardening book, with singsong rhymes the likes of which are found in mainstream greeting cards. Is the author sincere about her status as high priestess, or is she laughing all the way to the bank? We may never know, but if you like bad writing you will get some utility from the book. My favorite part was where she advises putting a small statue of the Goddess into your Goddess garden, because it makes "an excellent Goddess symbol". (Used copy for sale!)

Reviewer: M.L. Benton Publisher, Echoed Voices Magazine from Texas
It is one that I reference many times a week. Not only is it written and illustrated in an easy to use format, but it very thorough. Bud, Blossom, & Leaf reminds me how important Goddess is in the gifts she gives us, whether it be herb, flower, bush, or tree.

As you begin to read Bud, Blossom, & Leaf , you gain insight and knowledge of gardening and Spirit, whether you have an indoor or outdoor garden. Would you like a shaped and themed garden? Perhaps a Fairie Garden or maybe you are more interested in a Medicine Wheel Garden for healing. Learn Rituals to bless the gardens and the earth, learn to intertwine them in your daily life.

From recipes for culinary, cosmetic and medicinal uses to lessons in how to appease fairies so your gardens grow lush, everything you need is here within these pages. Learn how to predict the weather by using the Moon and the Winds. Learn to enlist the elemental energies to create your own magickal gardens. Become closer to Deity, as you become enlightened in and by the garden.
