really a garden thesaurus

I have just finished writing the ZEN OF WATERING YOUR GARDEN. Which some may consider a "coffee table book" but it is really a challenge to the reader to get out and garden. My book has 70 quotes juxtaposed to 145 full-color photographs. If I had had this book before I then I might not have written as much as I, and guest contributors wrote. Some of the famous qoutes from the Quotable Gardener are as a matter of coincidence also in the Zen of Watering Your Garden but with illustration: which I think encourage the reader to develoop their own mantas as the water , as they garden.
