If you have a love of gardens and need fresh ideas or are new to the hobby and would like some inspiration, this is the book for you!
Less like a "step by step" and more of one woman's account of making her dreams a reality, this book is a little like dipping into someone's personal thoughts, loves and ambitions.
I really fell in love with Velvet Pears; the story, the gorgeous photographs, and the idea that anyone can hold a dream in their mind of something special, and make it come to fruition with a lot of hard work and passion.
The book is set out in seasons, and the author describes her experiences gardening within each one.
Just look at these colours, as a crafter I can find a lot of inspiration for future quilts, as well as my future garden!
Maybe it is Susan Southam's love of full blown roses that attracted me to the book (they are my favourites!), or maybe it was the beautifully crafted book that was lovely to hold and to read.
Whatever the reason, "Velvet Pears" has motivated me to visit Susan's garden "Foxglove Spires" in Tilba Tilba one day. It is top of my Destination List! If you would like to see more of her place go here
