This review is from: Mary's Flowers: Gardens, Legends & Meditations (Paperback)

At my mother's death, one of our children suggested we begin growing a "Mary Garden". Not knowing much about this, I did some research on line and kept bumping into references to this book. So, I ordered it. I was NOT disappointed!!! It's kind of an anchor piece to the concept of Mary gardens. Not only are the paintings of species lovely and stylized, but the legends about how these flowers relate to Mary dear; the description of suggested flowers help to chose when and where to plant, and the presentation of material makes the book a pleasure to hold. Right now it's being passed around to friends who are also intrigued by the concept.... to their delight. I love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calming, inspiring, can't wait for spring, February 3, 2000

redcow@bright.net (Arcanum Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mary's Flowers: Gardens, Legends, and Meditations (Living Legends of Our Lady) (Hardcover)

Mary's Flowers was a keeper from the time I opened the box. The cover drew me to the book, and as I skipped through the pages I knew for once in my life I had to begin on page one and continue.........not my usual way......I begin in the back........the drawings are magnificent, the stories fascinating and the relativity between the flowers and the Blessed Virgin truly inspiring. The book is one of the highlights of my collection. I only wish I had written it.... JoKay Miltenberger Arcanum OH
