Keep going after the snow flies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
For the gardener, unwillingly housebound in winter, Eddison has interviewed gardeners who keep on going after the leaves fall. 'The Unsung Season' features gardens designed to look beautiful in winter, greenhouses and hydroponics, gardeners who make things for or from the garden (dried flower arrangements, wooden gates, dyes), gardeners who compete and gardeners who build. Eddison visits each, describing their winter set-ups, their homes and activities. There's plenty of inspiration here and plenty of pleasure for those who prefer armchair winter gardening.
The Unsung Season
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The book was a joy to read. Focuses on about thirty gardeners who have distinguished themselves with their winter gardens. Covers different styles and techniques as well as the lifestyles of the gardeners. As much about the people as the gardens themselves. Handy appendix includes selected plant, shrub, and tree lists as well as dye plants and plants for attracting birds. I found the book inspiring and the bright photos motivating.
