5.0 out of 5 stars This book is on the "Mar"k, January 8, 2008
By Paul B "Paul B" (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
This book opens up to a world of color and emotion. Mar expresses himself with a genuine caring and understanding of both people and animals. He encourages people to think for themselves and explore their inner art form. I was wildly impressed with this book and keep it at the top of my coffee table for all guests to peruse. Prepare your eyes for a gorgeous color collection of goodies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A journey of inspiration and love, December 27, 2007
By Wilton Mama (Wilton, CT) - See all my reviews
Life on Mar's: A Four Season Garden How do you describe Life on Mar's? It's part primer, part journal and all heart. This book goes beyond the 'how to' basics of a traditional gardening book and provides motivation on how to discover and maximize life's pleasures with your garden as an inspiration. Life on Mar's will not only warm your coffee table and garden...it will warm your heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars work of art!, December 26, 2007
I purchased this book as a novice gardener and after reading it, boy do I feel inspired! Mar Jennings offers so many innovative and fresh ideas that I plan to try myself; his insight and tips make even a new gardener like myself feel like I can do it all! The pictures are amazing and fun and best of all, you can really feel the love and passion that Mar has for gardening, his cute dog Corky, and just living a bright and happy life. You will be more than happy with this purchase and it's also a great gift idea. Thanks Mar and I hope there are many more books to come!
