HOME GROUND (hardcover)

This personal chronicle of the collaboration between a photographer, her architect husband, their gardener and a water garden designer will be a welcome addition to the library of every one who loves the gardening connection. As you read the charming descriptions and anecdotes of how an acre of scrub brush and poison ivy on Hither Creek grew into a flowering sanctuary with three distinct water features, you will marvel at the magical achievement. Whether you have a garden or just appreciate being in one, this intimate book will delight and engage you as you take a guided pilgrimage around the stations of this enchanting landscape on Nantucket. BEVERLY HALL has lived in Madaket for over 40 years. Best known as a portrait photographer and the author of My Nantucket, she states: “I am not a serious gardener but I take my garden seriously.”
