Gardenwalks in New England Review,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gardenwalks in New England: Beautiful Gardens from Maine to Connecticut (Gardenwalks Series) (Paperback)
This book is a guide book for touring selected New England gardens. The text gives the address, admission and a description of each of the gardens. No photos (disappointing) in this book.
If you live in or are going to visit New England, a decent guide to gardens based on location.
