"In this book, fruit growing scientist and founder of commercial fruit growing in Latvia in the 1990s, Māra Skrīvele, has compiled information about the development of the fruit growing industry at various times over a 100-year period, analyzing it from the perspective of today's knowledge and her 60 years of work experience. Māra has followed the state of Latvian commercial gardens from planting to full harvest, participated in the research of the Institute of Horticulture, and learned about the development trends of fruit growing in other countries. As a result, she has evaluated the significance of the experience of our ancestors even today and made this experience understandable to everyone - both commercial fruit growers and beginners and garden lovers. Recommendations on the nuances of growing, caring for, fertilizing, and choosing varieties of almost all crops widely grown in Latvia are written in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. The book is an excellent testament to Māra's knowledge, erudition, depth, and thoroughness": Institute of Horticulture leading researcher, academician Dr. biol. Edīte Kaufmane
