1: A Walk with Nature
I am an avid gardener and an avid admirer of Bunny Williams. This book was a perfect combination of both. It is filled with gorgeous gardens, but it has ideas and suggestions that will fit any size of garden or budget. I particularly loved the way that the book was organized. For example, if I want to look for ideas garden design, garden walls or containers, I can go to a chapter dedicated to the subject. When you read the book, you also have a strong sense of Ms. Williams' love for gardening and her commitment to a healthly environment. She inspires you to dig in the dirt and enjoy the glories of nature. To top it all off, it's a beautiful coffee table book that, in my house, will show that it is well used!

3: I would say" PASS" on this one!!!
I love Bunny Williams but this book is a big let-down. Maybe I was spoiled after reading "Affair with a House".

4: On Garden Style
This book is a must read. It is fabulous. Lots of helpful information. Makes you see your yard in ways you never thought of before.

5: if you want to dress your garden for success. . .
A typical garden of the rich who are possessed with image and lack of originality. The photos are very nice.
