Beatrix Potter's Gardening Life by Marta McDowell


What’s a gardener to do all winter? Try this enchanting biography of the woman who brought us Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, and other characters. This is an original account of her love for plants and gardens, how they translated into her work, and inspired her writing. This book is filled with botanical sketches, journals entries, photos, and illustrations—and a guide to visiting London and the Lake District, where Potter’s gardens still grow.
