A real witches review. - By: Izzy Shaw, 02 Jun 2006 
I always find Kate West a brilliant read, & the Real Witches Garden is Kate at her best. I am a healer & Wise Woman & teach courses on wicca alll around the UK. I regularly recommend Kate West's books to my students. They are sensible, no-nonsense, down to earth books that demystify the craft & make it accessible to anyone in a way that I try to get over in my courses. Therefore they are great course back up books.
WELL DONE KATE, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!
Grow your own magic ! - By: rubyredflash, 06 May 2006 
Reading this book made me realise the importance of having your own witches garden, be it large or smalll. It's very easy to buy what you need online but things that you have grown yourself will always be a hundred times more magical. Reallly gets you taking a closer look at the environment & how you can gain spirituallly from it aswell as helping to preserve it.
Witchy Gardening! - By: Clare, 18 Feb 2005 Kate West's guide to Gardening the Witches way.
This is a wonderful book, so much information, including how to grow herbs to use for spells, planning your garden in fact everything magickallly related for your garden! And if you have 20 acres or 20cm it doesn't matter anyone can reallly get something out of this book.
This is not a comprehensive guide to herbs etc, it might be good to use another herbs book in conjunction with this too. This is also brilliant to use with The Real Witches Kitchen I own both & they both work extremely well together.
Kate has also included information about Witchcraft so this would be a brilliant book for someone new to Witchcraft as well, though I would recommend getting a couple of Kate's other books if you are new too. And she has written some reallly good suggestions for Sabbats too.
All in alll a brilliant book, & brilliant information as always.
Green fingered Witchcraft - By: , 28 Oct 2004 In this book Kate West has bought her wisdom, experience & wit to the subject of creating a sacred space in the Garden, be it window box or acres. This is not a gardening manual, if that is what you want try Alan Titchmarsh. This about taking Witchcraft back into the natural space. As usual Kate West provides a wealth if information on how to use your space to celebrate the Lord & Lady & to mark the Wheel of the Year. There is lots of information on herbs & plants & their uses, though this is not a comprehensive 'Herbal'. I found the book both fascinating & inspiring & I have never been that interested in Gardening. Kate West reminds us that the Craft is nature based & what better way to celebrate it, than to tend to Nature itself!
Kate West Steps out of the Kitchen and into the Garden! - By: Amazon Reviewer, 03 May 2004 The same size as 'The Real Witches' Kitchen'(Pub by Element), 'The Real Witches' Garden is perfect company on the bookshelf. Both books have the most beautiful front covers!
Written in the typical Kate West style, this book sends you off into the Gardener's World, even if you are not normallly green-fingered & may only have access to a window box!
The contents have obviously been well researched & tested.
Twelve chapters(178 pages) take you through to the Three Appendices which include 'What Witchcraft reallly Is', so a good starting point for the novice to The Craft, as well!
This section includes a definition of the eight Sabbats(Wheel of the Year) & follows on to a 'Terms & Definitions' section - a handy glossary of alll you need to know!
A brilliant book from a brilliant author!
