Waiting to meet a friend for dinner & coffee at a coffee shop that is new to me. Only 12 minutes from work, by the airport. A little further for him, but he doesn‘t mind. He was my mentor- I student taught with him. ❤️ Delicious looking croissants for tomorrow‘s breakfast are in the white boxes.🥐

TheBookHippie How lovely. ♥️ 1d

Early morning read & coffee.
It‘s a cold 45 degrees, pouring rain. Reading about a garden & love in midst of war makes me feel hope for sunshine.

The Lost Garden: A Novel | Helen Humphreys

Pickpick

My intro to Helen Humphrey. She was recommended by my cousin (more specifically Followed by the Lark, but this was the first book of hers I could get my hands on). I loved this so much! surprisingly so! It gave me an entirely new (more intriguing) direction for my own gardens 🌷🪻 and for such a short book I cried several times 😢
I‘ve since picked up more of her work. And bonus that she‘s a 🇨🇦 author from a town near by.

TheKidUpstairs Love this book. And Helen Humphreys in general. I've heard great things about Lark, but haven't read it yet. My favourites are this one and 3d
Bookish.SAM Thanks for the recommendation @TheKidUpstairs 🙂 I have a feeling I‘ll really enjoy making my way thru her work. I actually picked this one up for a friend who LOVES gardening, but i couldn‘t resist giving it a read. So happy I did! 3d

Classic Martha vs New Martha. Martha Stewart's Gardening Month by Month is old favorite of mine. Yes it's a bit dated, but I'm always inspired by it. I usually flip through whatever month we are in. Plus it has seasonal recipes.

I was excited to get my hands the first new Martha gardening book in 30 years - Martha Stewart's Gardening Handbook. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Beautiful book. Garden photography has come a long way. Appreciated graphics of things like Companion Planting. Favorite part was the Monthly Calendars at the end. While it's very informative, feels geared more towards the newer gardener. Would be a perfect gift for someone who's just starting to garden. I enjoyed it, but I'm glad I got a copy from my Library rather than purchasing. I'm sticking with Classic Martha in my Gardening Library. 👩🏻‍🌾 1mo

Rainbow Garden (Revised) | Patricia St John

Sweet story about finding joy in hard circumstances with lovely imagery of the Welsh countryside. Not as complete of a story as my all time favorite St. John, Treasures of the Snow, but nonetheless a lovely spring read.

Oh, I wish you could see/hear the video of “my” little finch enjoying the fountain in my backyard! Perfect day for reading this book that I found at #bartsbooks in Ojai, CA. 💛

We Are the Gardeners | Joanna Gaines

3 ⭐ This book is very long. It is the story of the Gaines kids‘ trials and tribulations in building a garden. The lesson is never give up and to try new things. Just because you failed once doesn‘t mean you will only fail. You only fail if you don‘t try. The book is fine. There‘s nothing wrong with it. The illustrations are also fine. But it‘s not one I think would get checked out frequently, especially by people who don‘t recognize the name.
