gardening and horticulture

I am a huge fan of Tasha Tudor. I received her book "Tasha Tudors Garden " for Christmas. I have read it already and I must say it is so full of information and the photos of the gardens and Tasha herself are absolutely wonderful. The author takes you into Tasha's world and talks about all of the things that make Tashas gardens so famous and loved by many gardeners around the world. Tasha has a great love for her plants and her animals. This book takes you to the heart of the person behind the blooms. I would recommend this book to any one who truely enjoys gardening and flowers. It is a real treat to read .

Tasha Tudor was my favorite childhood illustrator. What a delight to discover this photojournal of Tasha in her own home & garden- now I see where her artwork came from! Art-quality photos of Tasha, her grandkids & still lifes with flowers & fruit from her gardens. A beautiful book to cherish for a lifetime!

Looking at Tasha Tudor's Garden is like taking a journey to another century, surrounded by beauty and peace. Tasha herself wears 19th century clothes, including petticoats, shawls, and head kerchiefs and lives in an antique-appearing house, going about her life with what seems to be a minimal of technology. The photographs that capture her seeing to the goats in the barn in winter, carrying a basket of hand-pulled weeds in summer, arranging lillies, tulips, peonies and old roses in her lovely old house, and seeing the cottage gardens in bloom are absolutely gorgeous. Sometimes gardeners just need inspiration, and this book is perfect for this. Enjoy.
