Resourceful

It was a really helpful book for someone like me who is new to gardening. It made the whole process of saving seeds feel easy and doable, even if you don’t have a lot of experience. I found the instructions clear, and it made me realize how much money I could save by reusing seeds instead of buying new ones every season. It also gave me a sense of being more sustainable, which is something I wanted for my garden. Recommended !
