Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Oh Garden of Fresh Possibilities" is one of the most refreshing and original garden books I've seen published in the last twenty years. In contrast to the recent plethora of garden photo books (no doubt thanks to advances in digital photography), "Oh Garden" presents a journey through the intimate garden, profusely illustrated with the author's own beautifully rendered watercolors of flowers, birds, and butterflies. The images and text harmonize and complement each other to form an evocative and powerful message of organic unity.
But the elegant presentation is only the beginning: Kim Smith really knows her gardens, and this handy volume is crammed full of garden lore and practical down-to-earth information. Want to learn how to attract butterflies? Kim reveals which plants will do the job. But she goes one step further and discusses why butterflies are a gardener's friend, and considers the question of the garden's insect population from a holistic viewpoint. For Kim Smith, the garden is not just an assembly of plants blooming in a certain sequence; a garden tells a story, and provides a living habitat shared by both the homeowner and the vast variety of flora and fauna that make up a thriving garden.
"Oh Garden of Fresh Possibilities" is a trusty companion that will be a gardener's friend for years to come. It's also the perfect gift for anyone who has seen a sprightly Monarch butterfly float outside the window and wonders why the wandering butterfly chose that particular spot on that particular day--and how to encourage more colorful lepidoptera to visit. Kim reveals how to weave together color, texture, and aroma into an environment that makes the most of even a small garden, and provides encouragement and advice for beginners and seasoned veterans alike.
