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.

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.

Wonderful illustrations for a charming journal of gardening which provides many tips for caring for plants as well as one's inner spirit.
