Sarah the   Gardener

The Good Life

 

This is some of what HarperCollins NZ have to say about the book::

“THE GOOD LIFE is a funny and inspiring slice-of-life gardening book, looking at the ups and downs of gardening throughout the year. The book is full of practical gardening advice, as well as delicious recipes, interwoven with the story of Sarah’s transformation from city-slicker to country girl.”

The reviews

The NZ Herald “It has to be said there’s a touch of the evangelical about O’Neil, who this week published a book about her country garden, a book called, you won’t be surprised to learn, The Good Life. “I could talk about gardening forever,” she fizzes at one point over coffee and cake.”

 

The New Zealand Gardener “This is a lovely book for any starter gardener and it’s written with verve, humour and humility”

 

Go Gardening “This book is both a trove of information for anyone growing their own food, and a thoroughly entertaining read packed with humour. Sarah’s real-life warts-and-all account will make you smile while inspiring you to get out in your garden.”

 

The Franklin County News “It’s not your typical ‘how-to’ book, it’s more like ‘this is how I did it and I won’t do this part again so don’t do that’.”

 

 

Beattie’s Cookbook Blog “The Good Life, a gorgeous slice-of-life gardening book.”

 

Wanganui Chronicle “The desire to write keeps me motivated to garden so I’ll have something to blog about, and the garden is constantly inspiring me to write. They work so well together.”
