The Gardners write about their farm on Cape Breton Island one they worked for 30 years while Elayne Sears illustrates the text with pleasant watercolors. Subsequent to the descriptions of the farm and the Gardners' myriad suggestions is a chapter providing practical and aesthetic advice, including letting a place evolve over time from use and needs rather than from blueprint, matching plants to habitat, creating verticality or height in an otherwise low or horizontal landscape, and thinking of the garden not as a series of un- or barely connected rooms but as linked areas. Throughout the book, there is almost as much focus on aesthetics as on practicality. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
