This is a delightful account of a Wwoofer and her travels around, a good part of, New Zealand.
If you enjoy organic gardening, permaculture, or gardening in general, you will enjoy reading about Phillipa Jamieson’s experiences. She gives a great account of her time working on organic lifestyle blocks and farms, with information on growing techniques and methods – from apple tree grafting to the latest term used for cooking from scratch “Slow Food”. (I love it), it’s going to be my catch phrase for now.
I can recommend this book to anyone who enjoys gardening, travelling and being in the great outdoors, but also those most interested in organic gardening.
If you like a ‘real life’ story, travelling, and/or social interest ‘The Wild Green Yonder’ will immerse you in the stuff of it.
I liked the addition of recipes, poems, anecdotes and things to take away from the book, once read. It’s a book I would keep for future reference as there is so much information in it.
If you have Wwoofed then you’ll enjoy this read. And it is a must if you are considering Wwoofing in the future as you will get a realistic picture of what to expect (I can say this as I have Wwoofed, ever so briefly, myself)
Happy Reading – Ginny Green
