Cats in Their Gardens

Page Dickey has compiled a series of visits to gardens of various types and climes and demonstrates in this lovely little gentle book that not only does she know her horticulture, but also she has a fine photographer's eye for the quirky personalities of cats. In a matter a few pages, Dickey acquaints us with the 'owner cats' of the various gardens and has captured whimsical and languorous moments in the lives of these felines blessed with gardens of great beauty. Each garden (and cat!) visit is accompanied by editorial comments that range form humorous to informative to a bit cute. This is one of those 'perfect gift' ideas for you and for friends who love their gardens and the feline guardians of the property. The fact that this book is available in the best gardening stores speaks highly for Dickey's reputation among horticulturists! A fine gift idea for the holidays. Grady Harp, November 2004
