Reviews
Promised reviews from Garden Design and American Horticulture, and Country Gardens magazines (no confirmed dates yet)
From Stephanie Peterson, Associate Editor, Garden Gate magazine: Helen has a real passion for plants and all the amazing ways they impact our lives. Her enthusiasm is contagious! She will introduce you to berries you didn't even know existed, and then the next thing you know, you're on your way to the garden center looking for them for your own garden. Good Berry Bad Berry by Helen Yoest is a berry fine little spiral-bound guide to slip into a backpack while out in the field or take to a nursery when deciding what berries to plant on your property.--Jill Sell The Cleveland Plain Dealer From Joe Lamp'l, host of HGTV's Growing a Greener World : What a great resource! While I've often wondered which berries are good, bad or neutral, now I know - and so glad I do. Even better, Helen offers so much additional and interesting information for each of the 40 berries (who knew?) that we encounter in our gardens, landscapes and natural areas around the country. I'm thrilled to have this book as my one and only go-to guide on the topic. There's lots more information in the book, covering 40 common wild berries in North America. The layout of the book makes it really easy to find the information you want. I think I'm well on my way to fulfilling my childhood goal of becoming a berry-ologist!--Melissa Will Empress of Dirt
