A Garden Gallery : The Plants, Art, and Hardscape of Little and Lewis

Summary: The Book is as Good as the Cover
Review: First, you hope the photos in the book are as good as the one on the cover; they are. Then, after flipping through the pages to see everything as fast as possible, settle in and read.

David and George started out to write in one voice. As David tells it, "We realized we were in trouble right after the word "The" and decided to write in two voices." The two voices make the book unique in the contrast of their personalities, each of which exhibits a delightful sense of humor while incorporating solid information about the plants and hardscape of this incredible garden. David is practical, George is spiritual; David nails down, George tosses; David keeps the check register, George fills it.

Kudos to Barbara Denk for her years of beautiful photographs; and don't miss the delightful forward by NPR's Doyenne of Dirt, Ketzel Levine.

This is one of the best books I've ever read about building and editing a beautiful garden.
