Love Letter to a Garden

Millman (Why Design Matters), host of the long-running podcast Design Matters, uses design, illustrations, and handwritten text to share snippets of her relationships to the gardens in her life. She begins with her introduction to gardening in her grandmother’s garden, then shares details about her gardens in New York City, and the garden she created in Los Angeles during COVID. Millman writes of her successes and failures through the years, learning from books and fellow gardeners. She goes on to share the nature she has seen through her travels around the world and the lessons she has learned from gardening. Millman’s wife, bestselling author Roxane Gay, provides the delicious-sounding recipes using their garden produce. Designed in a smaller format suitable for a gift book, the drawings, lovely paintings, and photographs delight while enhancing Millman’s thoughts and Gay’s recipes.
