A refreshingly
exuberant and uninhibited approach to turning ordinary gardens into
luxuriant paradises.
About 15 years
ago, Marilyn Raff began transforming her ordinary suburban yard into a
garden full of delights. It was a gradual process at first, since Marilyn
had no real experience of gardening and thought that the best thing to do
with her new expanse of yard was to plant grass. Since that time, she and
her garden have come a long way.
In The Intuitive Gardener,
you’ll learn how to see and imagine the garden of your dreams from one who
has taken this journey herself. With a strong emphasis on intuition rather
than rules, Raff helps gardeners of all abilities learn to trust their
creative choices, rather than being encumbered by the opinions of experts.
As she points out, gardening isn’t just about planting, digging, and
hauling: “It’s mainly about the beauty we are creating when plants are
brought together.”
As Raff’s garden has
evolved, and as she has built her career as a garden designer, she has found
a way to teach others to discover and follow their own internal feelings of
what is “right” in their gardens. Within the pages of The Intuitive
Gardener, discover the freedom to explore “unlimited possibilities in the
garden once distinctive elements—rocks, paths, flowers—are put together
with imagination and intuition.” And learn how mistakes can almost always
be overcome because “practically anything can be changed or moved….”
