You Grow Girl by Gayla Trail



YOU GROW GIRL by Gayla Trail an 
urban delight, this garden book how-
to. Very simple in style and tone, basic
instruction for beginning gardeners.
Divided into helpful sections, Plan,
Plant, Grow, Bounty, and Chill, it even
shares craft ideas, tips, resources, and
a couple of recipes.  Pictures many, 
illustrations very upbeat, the author
comes across witty, stylish, organic 
but street-wise. A great different kind
of garden book how to.. I loved it. 


Country Living Season at Seven Gates Farm

Now for my book review and quite timely thank you. This
is a fantastic seasonal go to book for decorating, displaying,
showcasing your garden areas through an evolution of the
seasons. If you like home-spun, rustic, crafting from nature,
if you like seasonal changes in the garden, holidays, collections,
and ideas galore, this book is yours. It's warm, personal, and
I'm in my happy-place when I read, no devour, this book.
I love it! 


From Seven Gates Farm, where James Cramer and Dean Johnson
lived and created the most beautiful surroundings of garden 
wonder. You'll move from the decorated spaces of the various 
gardens, green-house and their home, filling you with idea 
after idea of primitive composition. It's my very favorite 
decorating book. From 1996, I've had it for years, recommending 
it to everyone who share the love of seasonal home decorating 
and gardening.
