The Garden

Awesome book. Beauty created from the most simple situations and common flowers. Written with great personal enthuisiasm and illustartions to match the mood.

I havn't actually read this book yet since I'm too busy being stunned by the excellent photographs of natural beauty. Simply gorgeous!

This is a collection of the most gorgeous photographs of the garden and natural land surrounding the home of one of North America's best known and most respected photographers. Accompanying each of the photographs is a brief, elegant commentary. The commentary itself is thought-provoking, prompting readers to dig deeper into their understanding of gardens, nature and growth - growth of plants and growth of the person.The images and the words are those of a contemplative soul and they create a focus for meditation. Walk and wonder with Freeman Patterson through the yearly cycle of his New Brunswick home.

A book for people who love nature, gardens, beautiful photographs, and thoughtful, reflective writing. Superb colour reproduction, pleasantly large type (easy to read).
