GARDENS MAINE STYLE DAYBOOK

Lynn has chosen her favorite photos--half from the book and half new--to illustrate this perpetual daybook. In addition to forty-five luscious shots of Maine gardens, there are informational sidebars about gardening, as well as space in which to write daily activities or use as a garden journal.
  

REVIEWS:

"This little book is destined to be a birthday and anniversary date book [for me, not an appointment book or garden journal].... I'll handle it and enjoy it and be enticed to page through it from cover to cover at least 12 times a year and--this is the important part--year after year.... Gardens Maine Style Daybook, with its clear, clever, cute, cunning photographs of real Maine gardens, flowers, and fences, deserves better than a use-once or get-grubby fate. It's a keeper meant to be used and enjoyed again and again."
- The Times Record (Brunswick, Maine)
"Award-winning photographer Lynn Karlin has assembled another stunning collection of garden photographs in Gardens Maine Style Daybook.... Anyone who luxuriated in the glorious photos in Gardens Maine Style will want this lovely companion volume. What better place to record one's plans for the garden, the successes and failures, the memories of another year outdoors than in this elegant book?"
-The Enterprise, Bucksport, Maine

REVIEWS:

"This beautiful book of Lynn Karlin's exquisite photos combined with Rebecca Sawyer-Fay's clear and enthusiastic writing about gardens is a great inspiration for gardeners in and beyond Maine."
-Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener
"The writing is delightful, true, and descriptive and the photography aptly fits the words. Both are beautiful and Act II stands alone.... Gardens Maine Style, Act II would delight a shut-in gardener or a grower impatient for winter to end, and thus would be a special holiday or birthday present."
-The Downeast Coastal Press
"Leave it to Down East Books to come up with a volume that is yet another gorgeous tribute to our colorful gardens.... Comparing Maine's seasonal garden tableau to a performance, Gardens Maine Style, Act II not only shows those grand gardening acts in all their glorious color through Karlin's take-your-breath-away photographs, but Sawyer-Fay's approachable prose also delivers a multifaceted bouquet of tips and practical ideas we too can incorporate into our own gardens.... Gardens Maine Style, Act II can deliver all the pleasure and surprise of a Maine garden through all its glory, suspense, and drama in all seasons."
