These private oases illustrate unique plant and terrain differences at all seasons of the year and reveal the unique diversity found from the mountains to the piedmont and South Georgia, to the coast and the Golden Isles. Along with a brief history of each garden is fascinating information on the extensive diversity of plant materials that are suitable not only to these regions of Georgia, but to other areas in the southeastern United States.

Hello Mary, Thank you for this beautiful book and lovely garden tour. I must have been born old as I have loved sitting in a garden and listening to birds sing my entire life. I just love a garden with vine filled walls, gates and pathways filled with lush greenery. There I can dream forever. Have a beautiful day. Hugs :)
A refreshing walk in a beautiful garden in your own hometown. Thankful for the opportunity to join you. Nice 📚
Beautiful book once again. The style of gardening for this mother & daughter ensemble for me is "serenity" . Thank you for taking us along on your walk & not incorporating music 😊. As the song of the birds, the rustling of the leaves, the slight breeze and your steps in the gravel was music 🎵 to my ears.
Thanx for posting. Like the sereen music with it. Made my day softer.🥰
Very beautiful book and gardens. I could only imagine a garden like these but I still love and enjoy looking at them.
Thank you so very much for the garden tour, it was a heavenly experience.
I so enjoyed the quiet walk in that beautiful garden you took us along!
Thank you for another great book review! I love beautiful gardens.
I love the garden statuary surprises , urns on their plinths and large groupings of tumbling white flowers amidst the boxwood.
So beautiful, thank you. ⚘🌳
I absolutely adored this video....gave me all the feels!!....Since I am in the planning stages of expanding my gardens...and since Georgia is our neighboring state, here in NE Florida, This book is going to be promptly ordered as soon as I finish this comment....I Love Garden books just as much as Architecture and Interior Design Books, so Thank You for sharing this book .....I Loved the Garden walk as well....such a wonderful space......✌️💜💋
The gardens are very beautiful for sure as were the homes. Another great book review.
What a treat to visit these tranquil escapes while your sweet, calming voice narrates. With all the pictures in each book, how do you choose which ones you will feature in your videos? Thank you for taking us along as you journey through each tome.
Love your videos.
This book is coming to my library one way or the other. It should be a great help and source of inspiration for my little Georgia mountain garden which right now is not much more than an overgrown construction materials littered yard.
So lovely and peaceful
What a truly wonderful garden. I could walk with you around the beautiful area all day. Thank you ❤
Super well Done!! Enjoyed every minute and saved to Travel as well as Gardening. Thank-you very much!!
This book was so inspiring. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful!
Just added this to my list.
There’s just something calming, healing and magical about a garden.
I’m loving your personal adage at the end of each video now. It gives us a peek into who you are ❤
I am always amazed at the scope of talent and work that goes into creating a beautiful garden oasis! These ones do not disappoint. The sound of walking on the gravel is so comforting for me...also love a brick pathway. Thanks for sharing. 🤗
Your book reviews are stunning.
Love the walk-through this brings realism through your reviews!
The book was stunning.... but as an average small home owner I cannot relate to an estate and palatial home. I do enjoy looking. But your walk about made me see some things I could incorporate in my small little brick paths.. certain trees and trellises.
Your walk through the garden was soothing to my soul. Thank you for taking us along with you.
The at the was great.....
Bought this book at a thrift store for $2.00 several months ago in North Georgia. Definitely worth the $2.00, but don’t think I would have paid $40.00 for it. Have it on my coffee table.
Great find! I loved this book.
