This is the third book we have written together, though separately we have written others . . . But to say ‘written separately' makes no sense, for when two lives have been bent for so many years on one central enterprise—in this case, gardening—there really is no such thing as separately." With these words, the renowned garden designers Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd begin their entertaining, fascinating, and unexpectedly moving book about the life and garden they share. The book contains much sound information about the cultivation of plants and their value in the landscape, and invaluable advice about Eck and Winterrowd's area of expertise: garden design. There are chapters about the various parts of their garden, and sections about particular plants—roses and lilacs, snowdrops and cyclamen—and vegetables. The authors also discuss the development of their garden over time, and the dark issue that weighs more and more on their minds: its eventual decline and demise. Our Life in Gardens is a deeply satisfying perspective on gardening, and on life.

In the ethereal realm of Aethel, where crystalline trees bloom from the bones of the departed, Elara Everild, the village gravedigger, unearths a secret far more vibrant – and dangerous – than any she's encountered in the Bone Gardens. A hidden garden, pulsing with forbidden life, whispers of forgotten necromancers, the Eternal Wardens, and their unsettling ambition to raise a skeletal army from the very heart of her world. From this vibrant garden emerges Osric Thorne, a boy with jade skin and eyes like embers, a living embodiment of the garden’s power. He is both guide and enigma, bound to Elara by a shared secret and a growing connection that blurs the lines between duty and desire. As the charismatic Valerius Blackwood leads the Wardens in their terrifying rituals, the Bone Gardens twist into a chilling reflection of their dark intent. The crystalline trees awaken, their gemstone leaves sharpening into blades, and Elara is forced to choose: preserve the sanctity of the dead or wield the hidden garden's forbidden power to protect the living. But the Wardens' resurrection ritual demands a living sacrifice, and Valerius sets his sights on Elara's younger sister. Now, with the help of Osric’s forbidden knowledge and a desperate alliance with the village healer, Elara must navigate the treacherous paths of the hidden garden, uncovering its secrets and battling the encroaching darkness. As ancient lore and whispered warnings intertwine, Elara discovers that the fight for Aethel’s survival rests not only on her courage but also on a sacrifice that will break her heart and forever change the balance between life and death. The whispers of the departed intensify, a chilling reminder that some secrets are best left buried.

Taste, Memory traces the experiences of modern-day explorers who rediscover culturally rich forgotten foods and return them to our tables for all to experience and savor. In Taste, Memory author David Buchanan explores questions fundamental to the future of food and farming. How can we strike a balance between preserving the past, maintaining valuable agricultural and culinary traditions, and looking ahead to breed new plants? What place does a cantankerous old pear or too-delicate strawberry deserve in our gardens, farms, and markets? To what extent should growers value efficiency and uniformity over matters of taste, ecology, or regional identity? While living in Washington State in the early nineties, Buchanan learned about the heritage food movement and began growing fruit trees, grains, and vegetables. After moving home to New England, however, he left behind his plant collection and for several years stopped gardening. In 2005, inspired by the revival of interest in regional food and culinary traditions, Buchanan borrowed a few rows of growing space at a farm near his home in Portland, Maine, where he resumed collecting. By 2012 he had expanded to two acres, started a nursery and small business, and discovered creative ways to preserve rare foods. In Taste, Memory Buchanan shares stories of slightly obsessive urban gardeners, preservationists, environmentalists, farmers, and passionate cooks, and weaves anecdotes of his personal journey with profiles of leaders in the movement to defend agricultural biodiversity. Taste, Memory begins and ends with a simple premise: that a healthy food system depends on matching diverse plants and animals to the demands of land and climate. In this sense of place lies the true meaning of local food.

This is an entirely different garden book: a pattern book in which a score of landscapes and gardens are drawn, described, and analyzed not just as a bouquet of pleasures but as sources, lodes to be mined for materials, shapes and relationships, and ideas for transforming our own backyards. There is a universality about the creation of gardens across time and in diverse cultures that has inspired this entirely different garden book: a playful and affectionate typology of gardens; a pattern book in which a score of landscapes and gardens are drawn, described, and analyzed not just as a bouquet of pleasures but as sources, lodes to be mined for materials, shapes and relationships, and ideas for transforming our own backyards. The Poetics of Gardens is a celebration of places and the gardens they can become. Most of the 500 sketches, axonometric drawings, and photographs were created especially for this book. They explore the special qualities of places and the acts that can transform them into gardens. The authors discuss the qualities that create the promise of a garden the shapes of land and water, the established plants, the light and wind, the climate and show how these can be organized to give a place a special meaning. And they pay particular attention to the "rituals of habitation" by which we imaginatively take possession of places on the surface of the earth. The Poetics of Gardens examines great gardens made in other places, with other climates, at other times from ancient Rome to modem England, from Ball to Botany Bay, from the court of Ch'ien Lung to the magic kingdom of Walt Disney to explore their devices and record their images, scents, and sounds. The authors discuss the adaptation of the great garden traditions of the past to North American soil and call together the creators of these gardens to speculate about how their patterns and ideas can be appropriated, transformed, and composed into places that come alive for us.

Beneath the shimmering façade of Seattle's elite, a gilded cage of secrets and lies is about to shatter. Emily Vega, a woman who meticulously crafted her perfect life, finds her world imploding with the arrival of Lisa Turner, a mysterious woman armed with a devastating secret from Emily's past—a hit-and-run accident that has haunted her for years. Lisa doesn't just expose Emily; she systematically blackmails their entire circle, preying on the hidden vulnerabilities beneath their polished exteriors. Then, under the indifferent gaze of the stars, Lisa is found dead, and Emily becomes the prime suspect. Detective John Sanders, a world-weary man with eyes as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, arrives to dissect the opulent lives of Seattle's elite. As the investigation tightens its noose, Emily realizes the police aren't her only threat. Someone at the party knows the truth, and they're willing to kill to keep it buried. Trapped in a web of suspicion and lies, Emily must unravel the tangled threads connecting Lisa to their seemingly impeccable circle of friends. Her husband, James, paralyzed by guilt and fear, offers little support, leaving Emily to navigate the treacherous currents alone. In the midst of this chaos, Emily finds an unlikely ally in Julian Thorne, a charismatic lawyer whose piercing insights offer glimpses of hope. But Julian, like everyone else in Emily's world, harbors secrets of his own. Is he genuinely trying to help, or is he manipulating her for a hidden agenda? As Emily delves deeper, she uncovers a complex web of interconnected secrets—hidden affairs, financial improprieties, and long-buried resentments. Each revelation exposes a new layer of betrayal, forcing Emily to confront not only the secrets of others but the darkness within herself. When another guest turns up dead, the stakes become deadly. Emily finds herself playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the detective, while simultaneously trying to stay one step ahead of a killer who is framing her. As her relationship with Julian deepens, Emily must question his motives. Can she trust him, or is he leading her into a trap? In a heart-pounding climax at a secluded waterfront mansion, Emily finally uncovers the shocking truth. The killer isn't a stranger but someone she trusted implicitly, someone who has been manipulating her from the very beginning. In a desperate fight for survival, Emily must confront the mastermind behind the terror, a person driven by a deep-seated resentment that threatens to destroy them all. The gilded cage is broken, but at what cost?
