4.0 out of 5 stars
Inspirational gardening book, May 28, 2010
This review is from: The Intimate Garden: Twenty Years and Four Seasons in Our Garden (Hardcover)
I considered myself a pretty avid gardener, until I picked up this book. Gordon and Mary Hayward would laugh at my paltry little beds! There are two important things about this book they've written, 1. It inspires you to think creatively about your outdoor spaces and 2. It inspires you to work harder to achieve truly intimate and lovely outdoor rooms for many to enjoy. I will never spend 30 hours a week, like they do, on my gardens, but this book has encouraged me to greater things.
