Step-by-Step Guide

Books from the Heart

Some garden books instruct, some inspire. Others are the perfect gift for the gardeners in your life who also love to read. These are some of my favorites:


* Gertrude Jekyll, Color Schemes for the Flower Garden (Ayer Company Publishing, 1983)

* Elizabeth Lawrence, A Southern Garden (University of North Carolina, 2001), and by Emily Herring Wilson, Two Gardeners: Katharine S. White and Elizabeth Lawrence—A Friendship in Letters (Beacon Press, 2003)

* Christopher Lloyd, The Well-Tempered Garden (Weidenfeld Nicolson Illustrated, 2003)

* Henry Mitchell, One Man’s Garden (Houghton Mifflin, Edition 1999)

* Mirabel Osler, A Gentle Plea for Chaos (Arcade Publishing, 1998)

* Eleanor Perenyi, Green Thoughts: A Writer in the Garden (Modern Library, February 2002)

* Michael Pollan, Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education (Grove Press, 2003)

* Vita Sackville-West, Some Flowers (Pavilion Books, 1993)
