Cascadia:
Inspired Gardening
In The Pacific Northwest
List
Price: $16.95
Amazon Price: $13.56
You Save: $3.39
(20%)
Ann Lovejoy describes Cascadia as
a gardener's paradise, but it's an Eden with
steady winter rains and long summer draughts.
This has spawned an abundance of gardening wisdom
even for those who don't live within the
perimeters of northern California to British
Columbia. With sage monthly advice on encouraging
the blooms that thrive in one's local soil and
weather, and opulently gorgeous pictures by
Sandra Lee Reha, Lovejoy's garden visions are
exceptionally refreshing and inspirational.

Lovejoy has gained a significant following, and

problems. Her Organic Garden Design School

themselves students, but who are serious enough
to "move beyond the beginner stage." A
36-page workbook concludes this glossy, lavishly
illustrated volume. Workbook assignments include
"Drawing a Map," "Testing
Soil," and "Minding Your Mulch."

Naturalistic
Gardening
(this book has been a big
inspiration
for me this year!)
List
Price: $21.95
Amazon Price: $17.56
You Save: $4.39
(20%)
"Gardening is by definition
interference with nature," begins Ann
Lovejoy cheerfully. That said, gardeners will
save themselves no end of trouble by cooperating
with nature insofar as possible. Thus
naturalistic gardening, which has made real
inroads into the more formal, traditional
American gardens over the past few years. But
naturalistic gardening doesn't mean just throwing
a lot of seeds on the ground, or letting the
weeds take over. Lovejoy's practiced advice helps
gardeners get a handle on constructing a garden
that is like nature, but with an element of art.
Allow plants to follow their own natures by
judicious placement, she counsels, and you will
minimize their care as well as reveal their
essential beauty.

You Save: $8.00

In the summer months and
year-round in warmer climates, Americans love
spending time outdoors. More and more, people are
treating the outdoor spaces on their properties
as true extensions of their homes, turning
porches, pools, patios, decks, and gardens into
outdoor living spaces that serve the same
functions as indoor rooms.

Treehouse Book 
List

Amazon Price: $20.00

(20%)
Master treehouse builders
Peter and Judy Nelson, with David Larkin, have
embarked on yet another treehouse-discovery
expedition across America, this time adding the
investigation of backyard playhouses to their
agenda. Now, in The Treehouse Book, they
reveal their findings, illustrated and described
in the most complete volume yet. From casual
treeshacks made from discarded lumber to
multitiered feats of fancy, they found shelters
representing myriad builders-interesting
characters ranging from childhood fanatics grown
up, to weekend carpenters, to those who want
their grandkids to have the best clubhouse on the
block. Detailed how-to information, including
plans and drawings, is woven with
behind-the-scenes tales of each structure's
occupants and stunning interior and exterior
photographic explorations.

Open the door and step
outside to see how the Arts & Crafts
aesthetic has shaped gardens over the years as
surely as it has influenced architecture and
furniture. This follow-up volume shows the
characteristic brick, tile and wood, wide-porched
exteriors of the bungalow style half-buried
beneath wisteria vines, arbors, flowers, and
foliage.
