Hmmm...so which wonderful, fantastic, inspirational garden book shall I start with?
Let's follow this garden path and see if the book is there....nope, not here.
(My backyard ~ Spring 2008)
Maybe the book is down this pathway.
Nope, still no book.
(My garden ~ Spring 2008)
Hey, a clue! Someone's been working on this path.
(My garden ~ Summer 2011)
Another look, but still no book!
(My garden ~ Summer 2011)
A beautiful woodland path, but the book is nowhere to be found. Maybe, I've lost it!
(Houston Arboretum ~ Summer 2009)
While I go look for the book, you all can enjoy the beautiful pathways.
This is kind of nice. Wish it were in my backyard. (the path, not the restaurant)
(Berry Hill Restaurant ~ Houston Heights, Texas ~ Spring 2009)
Hey, here's the book! I found it.
TITLE: PATHS AND WALKWAYS
By: Hazel White
Photography: Matthew Plut
Published: 1998
Notes: This is a small, practical, how-to book containing beautiful photographs (though small), and lots of text. I think the best part of the book is the exploration of 'why' different types of paths set different moods.
There are chapters on the moods created with brick, gravel, lawn paths, stone, and concrete. It's very well written and thought-provoking.
It's got a lot packed into a book of 118 pages.
But before you go out and buy the book, would you like to follow a few more splendid garden paths?
The McNay Art Museum tropical garden ~ San Antonio, Texas
Another pathway at the McNay. Are you drooling yet? I am.
With fabulous art, beautiful gardens, and spacious parklands around it, it is definitely worth a look.
You could even take one of your NEW GARDEN BOOKS along and read it while you sit there taking in the view.
So you see, a garden path can take you just about anywhere.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks, Holley, for the fabulous new MEME.
