A Woman's Garden

 Hey!   I'm here today to recommend a MUST READ book called A Woman's Garden!   

I received this book to review a few days ago and I absolutely love it, and I am not the only one! 

Here's what a few others have to say about this well written and beautifully illustrated book:

"In A Woman’s Garden, the creative force behind LovelyGreens.com, Tanya Anderson, shares inspiring ways to use the power of plants for home and health—with helpful growing advice and step-by-step instructions for creating over 35 inspiring projects, edibles, and art from your garden.

Gardens grow more than just pretty flowers. They grow well-being and a deeper connection with nature. Gardens can also produce plant material for creating homemade skincare, natural dyes, artisan crafts, delicious foods and beverages, and medicines—homegrown ways to create a wholesome lifestyle.

Making things with your hands and heart, and then sharing the fruits of your labors with friends and family, is both satisfying and soul-stirring. Learn how to grow dozens of plants and then transform them into gorgeous items to nurture yourself or gift to others..."


" This lovely new book, "A Woman's Garden" is filled with many inspiring creative ways to enjoy all kinds of plants in your everyday life. Edible plants, plants for health and beauty, and some wonderful ideas for the home."

Grow In the Dark!

 I'm Back with another book review!

This one I am especially impressed with, as it is a book that covers a problem that so many of us houseplant lovers face. 

The book is called  GROW IN THE DARK.  (How to choose and care for low-light houseplants)
Written by Lisa Eldred Steinkopf, this beautiful book is packed full of useful tips and information on growing 50 of our favorite plants indoors.



We can't all live in a tropical climate...and not every south facing window will guarantee the best light to grow our plants to their healthiest condition. 
 
 This very attractive book, will not only look lovely on your coffee table, but it will become a useful guide that will will help you learn to make the most of your light situation  so you can reap the physical and emotional benefits of living with plants.

Detailed sections and beautiful photographs in this book include tips on watering your plantst, proper potting, propagation and troubleshooting for pests and diseases.

There is even a section where you will learn which plants are safe to keep around your pets.

As a girl who loves houseplants...I have enjoyed reading this book and will most likely refer to it often in the future!



I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to garden indoors with houseplants! 

Thank you to Cool Spring Press for sending me an advanced copy to review. 


Until next time…Happy Reading!

Straw Bale Gardens...

Hey guys!  Thanks for stopping by!

Today I am writing my thoughts on a new book that was sent to me by the  nice folks at Cool Springs Press.

 The book is called STRAW BALE GARDENS Complete.   It is the updated edition with the breakthrough method for growing vegetables (anywhere, earlier and with no weeding)



 This book is an easy to follow guide to growing a successful Straw Bale Garden written by expert Joel Karsten, who has perfected a way for anyone to have a garden without weeding, bending over, or using chemicals.

If you follow his step by step methods and suggestions you will be able, with very little effort or aggravation,  to grow a beautiful and productive garden.   I would venture to say that this is a perfect project for the beginner gardener!

The book offers easy to follow step by step instructions for many different projects, and lots of effective photos for us to follow along.

I have never gardened in a straw bale before...but now that I have read Karsten's book...I might just have to give it a try!

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to pick up a good read or try gardening in a straw bale!! 
Thank you to Cool Spring Press for sending me an advanced copy to review. 
Until next time…Happy Reading!

"Plants make people happy"

This is my favorite line in a book I had the privilege to read lately

If you are like me…any book about plants catches your attention…and this one is no exception!

On March 5th, 2019,  Publisher: Cool Springs Press released a 176 page book that is nothing less than fantastic!


It’s a lovely hard cover book written by Maria Colletti about my favorite topic!   PLANTS!    


"Botanical styling for a greener, healthier home."

In the book Colletti covers everything from decorating with houseplants…to how to projects to make interesting vignettes…and general plant care tips, as well as naming some specific plants and their needs.   

I have several books about decorating with houseplants…but this one is unique in that it has some neat ideas for using found items to create containers, or accents around your home and keep your plants happy.   

The how to projects are easy to follow…with items that are common to most places…and the beautiful color photos help give a visual of each project and step!   


If you are thinking…”oh sure…another how to book with outdated ideas..”   you are absolutely mistaken!  
This book offers ideas on how to do some of the most popular decorating trends right now…including photo frames and chandelier style planters.   

I found it both inspirational and informative…as well as a welcome addition to my library.   

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to create style with houseplants! 

Thank you to Cool Spring Press for sending me an advanced copy to review. 


Until next time…Happy Reading!
