When I was strolling through the dreaded Barnes & Nizzle, I looked down and found this little jem on the shelf amongst the vast dross that is B&N’s literature.

“Garden & Gun!”, I thought…. what more could a girl ask for? Two insanely fun activities in one glossy magazine!

Oh, and don’t be fooled by the good looking, angst filled men holding either a cocktail or posing by their life’s work – there’s more fabulosity throughout the pages. There’s gardens and there’s guns… do I need to go on?

Mmmmm, me like!

I have recently went propagation crazy, and once again pulled out this book. I have referred back to it for years now and it still remains my favorite garden book. Very clear and beautiful pictures and simple, flowing examples and tips on how to propagate anything. This book gets you addicted to planting, plants, propagating and anything of the like!9780517707876

Pretty over the top. But amazing! Dan Snow does a wonderful job explaining all the stories and characteristics between different stone. His jobs are mind blowing and the pictures in the book give you a small glimpse of that. Along the same vein as Andy Goldworthy…9781579653712

Joseph Wood Krutch does an incredible job describing the change and detail or each month and season, without being too esoteric or boring. Great flow and content and a wonderful book to grab quotes from.

I am not sure that I ever heard just that phrase before, but I don’t see why not. Surely, it describes at least the impression that August creates as she slumbers, replete and satisfied. Spring was a fever and autumn will be a regret, but this is the month too aware of its own successful achievement to be more than barely sentient. The growth which continues seems without effort, like the accumulation of fat. If Nature is ever purely vegetative, it is now. She is but barely conscious. ”

– Joseph Wood Krutch
