Postcards From The Hedge Book Review and Giveaway

Good morning, all you great and gifted gardeners, do I have a good book for you today! It is titled Postcards from the Hedge - Seasons in a Suburban Garden. It is written by Jill Appenzeller, who is not only a great writer, (in my opinion) but is also a passionate gardener, speaker, and landscape designer who has been featured on HGTV. This is her first book, and I think it is just delightful.

Postcards from the Hedge is not just a book about gardening, it is a reflection on life, family and human nature. I like that the book is broken up into little vignettes that take you through all four seasons, span generations and travel through many memories.

With titles like "How to Make a Turkey Trot" and "No Birds Just Bees," Jill's book is comical, thought-provoking and takes you to a simpler life. When you are feeling stressed and need a little down time, this is the perfect story to grab a cup of tea and sit down with to escape for a few minutes.

I am certainly not a great flower gardener. Actually, I am far from it, so I didn't recognize all the plants she mentioned in her book, but I still related to her stories of family and life. Jill has a wonderfully calming way of writing, and I appreciated her insights and the pictures she created for me to enjoy.

You can find Postcards from the Hedge on Amazon. This is the perfect gift for a friend or family member who loves gardening or reading. I am so glad that I get to share this book with one of you, because we are giving away (1) copy of Postcards from the Hedge to (1) lucky reader.
