A sweet gem of a book......

Shy 80 pages for the price this is a small book that is fun to read on cold winter days when one is planning what to plant once the weather warms up. The photographs are wonderful as is the dialogue that discusses the pros and cons of certain flowers and herbs in certain garden settings. Pages 28 and 29 are the only two that suggest any hint of the garden in winter. Since we live in the Sierras we know as do our relatives in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire the joys of berry bushes and other plants that attract winter birds as well as add a bit of colour when cold and snow appear.This is a book that I think most cottage gardeners will appreciate. And will want in their home library.

A Sentimental Favorite!

Are you looking for the perfect look in an empty space or corner of your yard? Why not add a cottage touch! Terri Dunn does a wonderful job showing various cottage gardens and how to create them. What I learned most is that you don't have to have a large space to create a welcoming cottage look. I live in Upstate New York and her chapter "A Cottage Garden For All Seasons" is perfect for me; I never knew a flower garden can look so beautiful in Winter! The photographs are colorful and very detailed. A great buy for a beginning cottage gardener or a veteran!
