    Teacher of the Year to Mr. Owita.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017*

This was a book that I am glad that I read. I had mixed emotions to parts of it, but still found myself choosing to pick up the book in a quiet place to read and finishing it rather quickly. I love to garden and have developed some special friendships with unlikely people (also immigrants). I felt that I was going to connect so much with the author. I was surprised to discover that I didn't feel I had as much in common with the author as I expected. Then I realized that was the key. Gardening and befriending people from all walks of life have always been who I am. They come naturally to me (plenty of other things don't). They did not come naturally to Carol Wall and in the process of opening herself up to both those things, she learned so much. She was brutally honest about herself - she had to look herself in the mirror, both literally as she dealt with fear of returning cancer, and figuratively as she faced truths about herself. Mr. Owita is a very special man and I am thankful to Carol Wall for sharing him with us. She was better for having known him and I feel I am better for having read about him.

    Incredible, moving story
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021*

What began as a story about a lady wanting to have some updated landscaping/gardening done in her yard turned into much more… the value of your those whom you love, how your memories and life experiences create who you are even when you’re oblivious to what’s happening around you, you are never too old to learn something new, and relationships are truly what is important.  Very good, true story.  Highly recommended for men & women.

    Mr. Owita's Guide to Gafdening by Carol Wall
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2014*

It is difficult to review this book without giving important details away.  But Carol, a teacher and wife, is going through many issues in her own life and she meets Mr. Owita, a gardener from Kenya.  Carol is not dealing especially well with things when she meets Giles Owita.  The relationship that builds and the obvious effect it has on each of them, maybe especially Carol, is surreal.  This book is so well written, that you feel as though you are part of the story when you are reading it.  You feel as though her triumphs are your triumphs and when I finished the book I had a different outlook on life.  Everyone can relate to this book and take a piece of it with you through your own travels through life.  My husband also read this book and he too could not put it down.  He told me he could not remember reading a more well written book ever!!!!
