"Professional landscape designer Nancy Mair presents The Spirit of Gardening, a simple and sweet guide to helping one's garden come vibrantly alive in a manner most pleasing to the eye. The Spirit of Gardening will prove more useful to gardeners with a modicum of experience, as it focuses less on basic seed planting and watering instructions (although garden maintenance issues are most certainly not neglected), and more on elements of visual style, color coordination, walkway construction, and overall design. Eye-catching full color photography throughout is sure to provide dazzling inspiration even to experienced and accomplished gardeners. A beautiful book featuring thoughtful advice."
