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….”
