Gardens in the Spirit of Place by Page Dickey
This book came out in 2005. It's one of my favorites because of the fantastic author, Page.
And if you remember, I've recommended two books by Page already this year, and her most recent one is the book Uprooted, which is all about Paige settling into her new space, her new garden. So, if you're transitioning from one garden to the next, check out that book.
But today’s book is an earlier book that Page wrote, and it's all about gardens defined by their place in this world.
So, think about how environments dictate what happens in a garden.
Now, what's really cool about this particular book is that we get to tour fourteen incredible gardens in the United States—and we get to have Page come along as our tour guide.
So, whether you're talking about a garden on Mount Desert Island, Maine, or a Wisconsin garden, or a garden in California, you get to see all kinds of garden ideas.
Of course, the emphasis here is how the garden relates to and is defined by its location, environment, and surroundings. This is a wonderful topic.
Another fantastic aspect of Page’s book is the photography. It's absolutely outstanding, as usual.
This book is 192 pages of incredible garden spaces defined by their place on this planet.
Right now, used copies of this book go for around $8, and that's an incredible deal because new copies go for around $50. So if you're interested in getting one of those, act quickly, because I know they'll be gone if you wait too long,
