To everything there is a season . . . a time to plant, and a
time to harvest. Whether you are a novice dirt dabbler or a
well-seasoned gardener, timing is crucial in gardening. And
with proper timing, nature provides us with not only
sustenance but trimmings for the home and table, provisions
for a garden lifestyle. Garden living, or weaving the garden into your daily life,
is a lifestyle filled with rewarding promise and new
adventure. Harvesting your own vegetables for a dinner
party, arranging your own garden-grown goodness in a
bouquet, or entertaining within the garden provides the
gardener, cook, and decorator alike an opportunity to meld
these talents into a harmonious blend for garden living. A Time to Plant is a guide to garden living-an invitation to
walk through the garden, see the possibilities of its
bounty, smell the perfumes that abound, taste the produce,
and hear the symphony of nature. With photographs, tips, and
methods, A Time to Plant will become your guide to a
successful gardening way of life. From holidays to every day, the garden can be your source of
all things fresh and elegant. Sprigs of mint in your iced
tea and lemonade, hydrangeas gracing your tablescape,
mantels and halls decked for the season, and a kitchen
filled with garden flavors-all are a part of a garden life,
garden living, and life well lived. Hailing from the peach-laden fields and muddy river portion
of Middle Georgia, James T. Farmer III, is president of
James Farmer Designs, which specializes in residential
landscape design, floral design, and interiors. James
graduated from Auburn University. As a native of the Deep South and enthralled with all things
Southern, James was influenced by great Southern architects
as well as antebellum architecture, having been influenced
by the land and flora of his family farm-an old plantation
in Kathleen, Georgia, just outside of Macon, complete with
rock walls, boxwood parterres, and European influences.
Summering on Sea Island also dictated a touch of that
particular coastal style in his work. His design practice is
about bringing the classicism of the past to the needs of
modernity.
