Love Letter to a Garden

From an award-winning artist, designer, and the host of the podcast Design Matters, this book tells the visual story of falling in love with gardening—and the philosophies that work conjures.

Debbie Millman always thought of herself as a bad gardener. Nevertheless, she kept trying. Over the years she came to realize that no one is a bad gardener—a garden is a journey that develops over time, through space, and evolves along with our hearts. In Love Letter to a Garden, Debbie Millman shares her journey to make and grow a garden—and the plants she has collected along the way—a process that started with handed-down houseplants from beloved friends and a lone peony. 

Spread throughout are simple recipes using the garden's ingredients from Millman’s wife, bestselling author Roxane Gay. Love Letter to a Garden is a little gem of a book—an inspiring, impulse-friendly story that can be read in one setting, then shared, experienced, pollinated, and perpetuated.
