Creating a Garden Retreat: An Artist's Guide to Planting an Outdoor Sanctuary

From the celebrated textile designer and author of Travels Through the French Riviera, this vibrantly illustrated tribute to the beauty and joy of gardening is both thoughtful reflection and empowering guide. Virginia Johnson recounts her experience of transforming a narrow inner city lot into a lush, welcoming, wild garden, overflowing with blooms and providing a safe haven for her children to play. Organized into chapters around the kinds of plants she’s grown there—vines, edibles, flowers, shrubs, etc.—this lovely tribute to the joy of the garden will inspire your own growing journey. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
