Gardening in the small and buggy, and active stewardship of all the land from lawn to wilderness; Pollan is a great essayist here in his first book.
With this exception of a terrific essay toward the end about the class politics of gardening catalogs, I found this book overwritten and boring. For me it didn't have nearly the readability or approachability of his later books.
