Praise for Grow Organic:

“Written in a friendly, straightforward manner, Grow Organic is an accessible guide for homeowners interested in organic vegetable gardening….” (East Coast Living, Spring 2010)

“Cookbooks and gardening guides shouldn’t make you feel like a useless toad, or make you wish you lived in another city. But Peirce’s Grow Organic…is a boost of confidence, even if you’ve only ever grown mould. Peirce doesn’t expect that you know a till from a turnip, and she writes in a conversational, unpretentious tone. Best of all, she understands Atlantic weather, and that many of us don’t have spaces bigger than a balcony…. The book is well-designed with a bounty of colour photographs. Instead of reading general books about locavore living, why not read a local book about growing your own food?” (Sue Carter Flinn, The Coast, April 8, 2010)
