Review
"Passionate, reflective, inspiring, endlessly quotable, and filled with good humor and humanity. It joins that tiny handful of fine gardening texts that are also literature. "-Allen Lacy, The New York Times Book Review
"In which poetry is perfectly at home with the eminently practical matters of gardening . . . a gold mine of practical advice. "-Anne Raver, The New York Times

A 12 Month Delight,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Year at North Hill : Four Seasons in a Vermont Garden (Paperback)
Never did I expect to be so conflicted about why I love a book. This one has it all. Such a beautifully written love story about a garden and the shared lives of two people who have a vision and the courage to create a truly great landscape. The sheer volume of information about specific plants and how they are used are invaluable to me. To have all this knowledge presented in such a beautifully written book is such a gift. I've already read it twice. I've had my copy of this book for two years now and it wouldn't surprise me if I picked it up for a fresh reading sometime this winter.

a wonderful wonderful book,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Year at North Hill : Four Seasons in a Vermont Garden (Paperback)
I've worked for years in the extensive gardens of children's book author/illustrator Tomie dePaola (26 FAIRMOUNT AVENUE and other books). This book has helped me appreciate what I do and has helped me "see" the value and the beauty in plants and shrubs and colors, etc., that I never before saw or understood. It's a wonderful book.
