If you're not familiar with Vicki's Grow Your Blog Party, click here and there is an icon on the right sidebar; click there to access the list of party participants. I enjoyed the party, and I was able to grow my blog (thanks, new followers!); in addition, I was able to find several new-to-me blogs of kindred souls that I am now following. Plus, I won two giveaways. (More about the other win in a future post.)
This book has sections on container gardening, water gardening, trellis (vertical) gardening, and shade gardening. The pictures are lovely.
Don has woodland gardens that we were privileged to visit last spring. To see his ladyslipper orchids, azaleas, rhododendrons, Japanese maples, lancifolia, heucherella, euphorbia, trillium, arisaema sikokianum, and much more, go to this post from our visit.

I am enjoying Garden Ideas: Creative Design Solutions by Carol Spier and Warren Schultz.
THANK YOU, DONNA, FOR MY NEW BOOK! I LOVE IT!
Be sure to visit Donna's blog, Gardens Eye View. Tell her Beth sent you over!

That photo of the morning glory makes me want to go shopping for some garden ornamentation to try to duplicate it. I ♥♥♥ Morning Glories!
It looks like a wonderful book and it should feel quite at home with a fine gardener like you, Beth!

Oh how glorious these photos are. When I had a store in Spring Texas years ago there were really old trees with Wisteria hanging down. They were so lovely!
