Marjorie Harris' legions of fans feel they've come to know a little of the popular writer's garden through her newspaper columns, TV and radio appearances and her bestselling books. Tiny, long and narrow, located in the midst of a bustling city, this is a garden that has seen fourchildren, annual spring floods, too much shade, too much basketball -- and a truly astounding array of gorgeous annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs. Like every garden, urban, suburban, or rural, it is a work always under consideration. In Seasons of My Garden, Marjorie opens her garden gate to reveal a year in its rich and varied life. This is a garden dreamer's delight, bursting with full-color photographs of Marjorie's achievement taken over several years, the work of gifted photographer Andreas Trauttmansdorff. It is a volume of reflections, observations, and musings on the garden's (and the gardener's) response to the changing seasons. And of course, this wouldn't be a Marjorie Harris gardening book, if it didn't offer heaps of practical tips and advice that every gardener, regardless of experience, or location, can use every day of the year. Seasons of My Garden is classic Marjorie Harris. In her breezy, down-to-earth style, she takes us on a personal garden tour, where we can revel in successes, commiserate over failures, and discuss the tempting possibilities of a work that's always in progress. Designed by Gardening Life magazine's Alice Unger, and complete with an illustrated map of Marjorie's front and back gardens, Seasons of My Garden is sure to be this year's favorite gardening, title.
