For P. Allen Smith, gardening is all about the anticipation
of a new season, the wonderful satisfaction that comes with
digging and planting, building supports and structures,
selecting plants and deciding how to arrange them—and then
enjoying the delightful and inevitable surprises as the
seasons unfold and nature transforms the original vision
into something gloriously its own. But, of course, as nature
works its magic, there is a multitude of ways that we can
shape, enhance, and accentuate our gardens—and that’s what
P. Allen Smith’s Living in the Garden Home is all about. Allen inspires us to extend the definition of living space
to our gardens, transforming them into places of
ever-changing beauty that are woven into the fabric of our
lives. This book puts this concept into action as Allen
walks us through the seasons of the garden, offering
projects, activities, and decorating ideas that both bring
the garden indoors and add touches of comfort and style to
our outdoor living space. With step-by-step instructions and
illustrations accompanying each of the fifty projects,
you’ll be able to dive right in at any time of the year to: * Create a Mother’s Day container garden
* Adorn a wall, door, or gate with a living wreath of
aromatic herbs
* Plant an out-of-the-way cutting garden for indoor arrangements
* Invite friends to gather and sample heritage varieties of
apples
* Make holiday centerpieces with berried twigs, evergreen
stems, pinecones, and other materials from
the winter garden Spring, summer, autumn, or winter, it’s always a fine time
to add beauty, style, and enjoyment to your garden home.
