A CEO'S Guide to the Garden,  written and illustrated by, J. J. Schulte

In "A CEO's Guide to the Garden" the author, a traveling executive and life long gardener, uses clear simple text and charming illustrations to explain step by step how to plan, build, maintain and enjoy a home garden that accommodates the hectic lifestyle of today's professional.

While providing excellent directions and advice on everything from site selection , which varieties to plant and organic gardening methods , it pokes fun at the corporate culture in which many of us live.  "It could best be described as Dilbert meets Farmer MacGregor. " A quick sampling of the Chapters, "Recruiting and Selection" , which focuses on how to source, select and use seeds and plants, "Retained Earnings" which is focused on how to harvest, store and use the garden output indicates an irreverent style that focuses on the sometimes self inflated role of the "CEO".
