Publisher's Notes
An anthology of Laura Stoddart's exquisite, tiny drawings celebrates the art of relaxation, the pleasures of a well-kept house, and the charms of a peaceful garden in a collection of illustrations of figures puttering about in the garden or lazing around on a patch of green grass with a cool drink in hand instead of a trowel.

Everything I Know I Learned in My Garden
by Emilie Barnes
A gift book that pairs paintings of lush garden settings with inspiring quotes, reflections, Scriptures, and gardening ideas will delight anyone with a green thumb or who enjoys the solace, peace, and joy of a garden.
Gardening Mad
by Monty Don
Humorous, charmingly idiosyncratic, full of trenchant observations and great tips, Monty Don entertains and educates the arm-chair gardener and the passionate life-long gardener alike. His essays are complimented by the exquisite photographs of Fleur Olby, which capture the sensuality of plants and flowers with an unusually striking grace. Composed around the calendar year, this visually stunning book covers a great melange of subjects, including Valentine Roses, Novice Gardening, Apples, Red!, New Age Gardening, Christmas Trees, and Neighbors. Don writes about gardening as an experience, rather than a particular science, integrating hard work, vitality, and esprit in a enthusiastic examination of the gardening life.
Gardener's Alphabet
by Mary Azarian
Revealing the variety of life underground, the bright comfort of a greenhouse on a winter's day, or the anticipation of starting seeds indoors in early spring, this striking alphabet book celebrates the simple joys of gardening. Without neglecting the frustrations -- the nibbling critters and the toil -- or wry, humorous moments spent in the garden. Mary Azarian's spare words and lovely woodcuts capture the essence of turning a bare plot of ground into fragrant flowers and lush vegetables and trees. Her depictions of insects, manure, and compost piles are as delightful as her fountains, pumpkins, and Queen Anne's lace. Whether we are young or old, our gardens both exhaust and renew us. They are our source of magic and wonder and perhaps our best way to live closer to the land and to the rhythm of the seasons.
