I received a free copy of Vegetables Love Flowers by Lisa Mason Ziegler in exchange for an honest review. This work contains many beautiful photographs. The subject matter promotes the growing of flowers in your vegetable garden to attract beneficial insects to pollinate blooms and to prey on harmful insects. The author also suggests techniques for attracting birds to keep harmful insect populations down for keeping the birds from causing harm to your garden. The book provides further advice on how to create habitats attractive to reptiles. The author further emphasizes timely planting, mulching, and using protective coverings. This book does not discuss the insecticide properties of specific plants.

It is a beautiful, easily readable book with what appears to be sound advice.

Very informative book on the balance to be tipped in your favor growing vegetables alongside flowers. Very good tips on the timing and planting of your garden to help negate the need for harmful pesticides. Since most of us are clear on the benefits of organically growing foods but maybe unsure how, this is a helpful guide for just that benefit alone. As a bonus you will get time learned tips and guides to incorporating not only flowers that will provide beautiful bouquets for your home, but living with nature and encouraging it to help you in your garden. More than the title reflects, and worth a read.

Review on Amazon UK, My Goodreads page and Facebook x

I liked this book a lot, before everything, it was clear that the Ziegler created it from heart. Her passion for any kind of gardening passes through the pages, and it's not so common with all books. They can be quite boring, but Ziegler found an interesting angle together with good research and really good directions and suggestions.
The book starts with setting the ground that vegetables and flowers can co-exist, you don't need to do one or the other. Then, follows with lots of examples. She gives information about lots of possible flower species, how to care for them in different seasons, what are the problems you can face, etc. I found it really holistic and detailed.
There are lots of pictures, which I like to see. Also, in the end she gives lots of combinations of possible flowers.

All in all, really good book for what it's intended for. I would definitely recommend.
