Product Description
by Debbie Millman (Author), Roxane Gay (Contribution by)
From an award-winning artist, designer, and the host of the podcast Design Matters, this book tells the visual story of falling in love with gardening--and the philosophies that work conjures.
Debbie Millman always thought of herself as a bad gardener. Nevertheless, she kept trying. Over the years she came to realize that no one is a bad gardener--a garden is a journey that develops over time, through space, and evolves along with our hearts. In Love Letter to a Garden, Debbie Millman shares her journey to make and grow a garden--and the plants she has collected along the way--a process that started with handed-down houseplants from beloved friends and a lone peony. Spread throughout are simple recipes using the garden's ingredients from Millman's wife, bestselling author Roxane Gay. Love Letter to a Garden is a little gem of a book--an inspiring, impulse-friendly story that can be read in one setting, then shared, experienced, pollinated, and perpetuated.Author Biography
