The Book
Picture A Garden
Picture A Garden is your invitation to a fresh look at the wide open possibilities for nurturing a budding interest in the world of gardening. The book was born out of the author’s 25 years of creating an illustrated children’s newsletter.
The stories inside were entirely hand- drawn, based on a lifetime of plant love. Readers are encouraged to overcome all shyness about asking silly gardening questions, as your host and author gently leads you into a fun learning environment. It is time to think outside the window box and discover new ways to enjoy plants.
Advance Praise
"During nursery visits over the years, a unique series of illustrated children's gardening newsletters was such a highlight. We would put each one on the fridge where we could all enjoy it until the next one came out. Now all of this beautiful work has come to fruition and into the world, in joyful color. How exciting! "
-- Lyanda Lynn Haupt, naturalist, speaker and author of "Rooted", "Crow Planet" and "Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds"
"Oh, la la! Fun and factual stories, combined with magical artwork. What a wonderful way to learn all about plants and nature. Why wasn't this incredible book available when I was growing up?"
-- Ciscoe Morris, Seattle's beloved gardening guy, radio host and author of "Ask Ciscoe"
"Drawing, alone is difficult. Linda does an amazing job of weaving drawings together with her handwritten text. It is for everybody to learn things and use the gifts of nature well. This is awesome, a delightful guide. It is a lot of work and you can feel it comes from the heart."
-- Peter Sis, author/illustrator of more than twenty books and Caldecott medalist for "The Wall"
