The home-maker and the garden-lover are the same person, says Eben Rexford, and this book serves both. He covers making and keeping a lawn, choosing shrubs and vines, and dressing a house in green from the ground to the eaves. Practical, warm, and thorough. Craft a garden that makes a house a home.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
