Chapters are devoted to the elegant gardens in the town of Nantucket, the more informal gardens of the cottages in the charming village of 'Sconset, and gardens that magically interact with the island's stunning landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNantucket is a small island about 30 miles south and east of Cape Cod, with the wild Atlantic Ocean to the south and east and the calmer, shallower waters of Nantucket Sound to the north. Although only 105.3 square miles (14 miles long and 31\/2 miles wide), the island has a remarkably varied landscape with beautiful, isolated beaches, wind-sculpted dunes, and lush wetlands along its extensive shoreline and moorland, cranberry bogs and freshwater ponds on its interior. Its proximity to the Gulf Stream gives the island a milder climate and a longer growing season. It is in this environment that Nantucket gardeners have succeeded in creating gardens of distinction. With the publication of \u003ci\u003eGardens of Nantucket\u003c\/i\u003e, readers everywhere can be inspired by the island's gardens, a rare opportunity not to be missed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Henderson,Kathleen Poole,Marcella Zimmerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493092421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493092420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs","brand":"Paula Henderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874731143423,"sku":"9781493092420","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gardens-of-nantucket-paula-henderson-9781493092420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
