I love how each featured artist gives her personal "zen garden" favorite memories and how useful gardening tips are also included. The quotes included under the garden-collage photos are wonderful. Each time I looked at the garden scenes I noticed more and more amazing details that I'd missed before. This book is perfect for all types:artists seeking new inspiration, gardeners looking for new and unique ideas and tips, and admirers of mixed-media art who may want to get creative themselves...a charming and whimsical book! 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars let me plant a seed..., March 31, 2009 By  Connie Freedman - See all my reviews This book is fabulous. It will inspire you to start a garden if not in your own back yard or on paper, definitely in your thoughts. There are 13 amazing artists who have created their own garden. Everything from Marie Antoinette's garden, a garden for every season, to a community garden of the past that is just a wow! There are quotes regarding the garden under each piece of art. The book takes you into the artist's thoughts and memories of their garden. Which I just love because it makes the book personal, you feel a connect with the artist. The artist also shares the materials and techniques that were used for their garden piece. The art work is beautiful. This is a book to take outside, sit under a tree and let it take you away. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars In this Garden, April 4, 2009 By  G. Gauthier "Travel Junkie" (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    All the Artists in this book have brought there own unique styles to create their own individualy stunning "Gardens". I don't really care what medium an Artist choosed to use. I did not get "In this Garden" or the "in this House" for a "how to". So I was not disapointed by this book at all. It is very much like an extention of the "In this House" book which I own as well. I'm all about the pictures and the inspiration I get from all of the variouis Artists. The ephemera that is included is a beautiful bonus. I would love to have a creative afternoon with any one of these talented ladies and just create! I'll serve tea and sandwhiches. ;)		Ad feedback   Most Recent Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars In This Garden--a fascinating followup to In This House Having loved In This House, a mixed media visual exploration of houses created to look like books, I was thrilled to see a new and related title--In this Garden.
