Another winning book from Ann Lovejoy, who writes with such grace and depth about the joys and challenges of gardening, with a special emphasis on our Pacific Northwest. But, if you don't live in this area, don't steer away from her wisdom....gardeners of any area and ilk will find much to treasure in her books.
Aside from the wealth of practical knowledge that even the most grizzled of gardeners can glean something from, she has moment of transcendence. I'll add just one quote, which will show more illustrate the nature of her writing, "We make gardens not just to embody our dreams but because our spirits are uplifted each time we touch the earth." show less

I think I have bought everything I have ever found by Ann Lovejoy. I love her sense of naturalistic gardening. This book is a month by month discussion of gardening, but it is not a how-to book. It is more like a series of gardening essays. While she lives in the Pacific Northwest, and most of her writing is about gardening in the northwest, this book is designed to be read/used by gardeners anywhere.
The garden in bloom : plants & wisdom for the year-round gardener in the Pacific Northwest by Ann Lovejoy
I love this book...but, of course, I love everything that Ann Lovejoy has penned. It might be a tad dated in spots, but for the most part, for the vast majority, this book is chock full of gardening wisdom and life wisdom for gardeners in all areas and all walks of life. A must read!
The Ann Lovejoy Handbook of Northwest Gardening, Revised Edition: Natural : Sustainable : Organic by Ann Lovejoy
Good, a bit dry, and not much focus on vegetable gardening.
