Garden envy

10/11/11| Guinevere Harrison
I loved this book when I first saw it. The flowers are gorgeous, the production value is top notch, and the photographs are amazing. Then I read that the photographer grows all of the plants in his own garden in Portland, OR. Totally blew me away, and made me completely jealous. Not only a talented photog but also a green thumb? Sheesh. Lucky guy!
