Smith begins with his own story--his family's love of gardens and experience in the nursery business, his own education at the great gardens of England, and his discovery that we all have, as he says, "a longing for our agrarian past." After walking us through his own "Garden Home," and explaining why he made the choices he did, Allen introduces his 12 principles of garden design. For the millions of people who know Smith through his syndicated television show, this book is the irresistible invitation to follow him into the garden. P. Allen Smith, author. Hardcover. 224 pages.
