The 3000-Mile Garden: An Exchange of Letters on Gardening, Food, and the Good Life by Leslie Land

This book is gripping. It is heartfelt. This book makes you a believer in gardening and the lost art of letter writing.

The 3,000 mile garden : an exchange of letters on gardening, food, and the good life by Leslie Land

Would like to see the series that went along with this book - I don't know many of the plants they mention in the letters, so it would be good to have a visual to connect the names to the actual flowers/plants. Got some neat ideas from the book, however.
