This book, In a Canadian Garden, by Nicole Eaton and Hilary Weston, with the excellent photography of Freeman Patterson is one of my all time favorite books.
My copy is dog eared, and tattered. I have it on hand constantly.
These two authors are actually among the heirs of two famous Canadian
companies, and as such have been privy to many gardens that otherwise
would be closed to the public.
I really like Freeman Pattersons
observations on the gardens in the book and the light bulb moment when
he tells the funny story about being curled up under a bush waiting for
the right light - my realization after this was that there is no wonder
that my garden pictures are either too glaring or the shadows are too
obvious.
I've learned a lot from this book - the inspiration
that I've gained is immense. And to think, these gardens are all in
Canada. They show the wide variation in climate, vernacular and
historical influences - in short, the gardens are just like the people
of Canada; diverse, innovative and friendly.
