Noted marine and children's-book artist Loretta Krupinski found that she had to relearn many of her gardening skills when she moved from Connecticut to coastal Maine. A practical gardener, she kept notebooks of what she learned. Her garden journal, with its superb watercolor illustrations, both instructs and delights.

Colorful Combination of Art & Gardening,
By
This review is from: A Maine Artist's Garden Journal (Hardcover)
I discovered this from a review in the Maine Sunday Telegram. I've tried nature journaling and so can really appreciate Krupinski's effort to document the birds and insects that visited her garden. The book goes beyond that, telling what she planted, and what she learned about pest control, care of roses and specific info on various plants and flowers.
Her artwork makes each page a delight with all the garden creatures (rabbits, bugs, butterflies, birds and cats) and lots of flowers. The book would be particularly useful to anyone new to gardening in Maine, where the limited growing season and the thin topsoil present challenges.

Beautifully illustrated, absorbing book for children or adults,

This review is from: A Maine Artist's Garden Journal (Hardcover)
This book is a charming gift for adults who like to garden, whether they live in Maine or not. The author has a special fondness for cats, and they appear in several of the beautiful illustrations in this book. Above average artwork, and the whole book has a lovingly crafted feel.
Highly recommended.
