BOOK REVIEW   by Robert Howard, The Hamilton Spectator.  Dec 12, 1999

Highly Recommended
The Rusty Rake Gardener is the work of a Dundas couple well known for their wonderful garden and their volunteer work at the Royal Botanical Gardens . This is a lovely book about making a good garden without breaking your back or your bank account. The Cummins --- ably assisted by Burlington writer and friend John Lawrence Reynolds --- maintain a chatty, Dave and Cathy tone as they talk about what has worked and not worked in their garden. It’s about design and plants, techniques and tips, but it is also about the love of gardening and how to nourish that. A wonderful book by lovely people. Highly recommended.
