An Island Garden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780548481448)

An Island Garden is a book written by Celia Thaxter that describes her experiences in creating and maintaining a garden on the Isle of Shoals, a group of islands off the coast of Maine. The book is divided into chapters that correspond to the different seasons of the year, and each chapter explores the plants and flowers that thrive during that time. Thaxter also shares her personal reflections on the beauty and tranquility of the island, as well as her love of gardening and the natural world. The book is illustrated with charming sketches and watercolors by Childe Hassam, a prominent American artist and friend of Thaxter's. An Island Garden is a delightful read for anyone interested in gardening, nature, or the simple pleasures of life on a remote island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
