A Time to Blossom
The
author and photographer of the classic Tasha Tudor's Garden
deliver this intimate celebration of the gardening rites and
rituals that mark not only the passage of the seasons but the
passage of the years as they are shared with successive generations.
In A Time to Blossom, Tovah Martin commemorates with words --
while Richard Brown illustrates with lush photographs -- the
joys and discoveries of the horticultural year as experienced
by a child.
Tasha Tudor's Heirloom Crafts
In
this magical sequel to Tasha Tudor's Garden, Martin and Brown
revisit America's beloved children's book illustrator, taking
readers inside Corgi Cottage to watch Tasha craft items that
are an integral part of her legendary 19th-century lifestyle.
100 color photos.
Garden Whimsy
Tovah Martin
and Brown (Tasha Tudor's Garden) take a walk on the lighter
side of horticulture. Postulating that "gardeners suffer
from a tendency to take themselves too seriously," the
pair drop in on 10 practitioners of the craft who have learned
to cut loose a little. Clearly inspired by their subjects (quirky
green thumbs who leaven their compost with irreverent wit and
creative flair), the authors chronicle found art and impertinent
plant pairings.
