When Elizabeth Lawrence’s
A Southern Garden was first published in 1942, it was the only book to address the needs of gardeners in Zones 7 and 8—an area that ranges from Richmond to San Antonio and on up the West Coast to Seattle. Although many books are now available for this region, gardeners frequently return to
A Southern Garden for inspiration.
More than eighty years later, Lawrence’s information is still fresh, her style of writing still delightful. She not only gives practical advice but manages to convey what it is about gardening that draws so many people to it. This new edition of
A Southern Garden will be treasured by all who love gardens and good writing.
