This book isn't really groundbreaking compared to her last one, but I still enjoyed reading it! I just love how her books make me feel, even if they aren't reinventing the wheel each time. The photos are beautiful, and there is enough diversity and variety to keep me engaged. It's exactly what I wanted it to be.

Lots of ideas for the garden that are sustainable and practical.
I like that she included information on where to source cut flowers, garden essentials, and nursery materials. My favourite is the way she incorporates vintage victorian flower prints into the decor of her garden shed, beautiful, curious, and pleasing to the eye that likes looking for details. She is very heavy on using everything in a way that reduces waste, like buying from flea markets, etc. to look for unique items that have stood the test of time. Additionally, they don't make things like they used to, and often you are getting more durable items that way.
beautiful photographs with short text, you can read it entirely in one evening.

This is more of a coffee table book. If you are looking for designs or ideas it is probably not going to be your go-to. Photos were very pretty.

Beautiful pictures. It would make a great coffee table book. Content was rather thin.
