Debbie Millman is known as an award-winning artist, designer, and the host of the popular podcast Design Matters, but she is also an avid gardener. Love Letter to the Garden tells the highly visual story of creating her gardens in New York and Los Angeles and the philosophies that work conjures.Debbie Millman-an award-winning writer, designer, and host of the podcast Design Matters-always thought of herself as a bad gardener. Nevertheless, she kept trying. Over the years she came to realize that no one is a bad gardener, we're all just questing for a garden, a journey that develops over time, through space, and evolves along with our hearts. In Love Letter to a Garden, Debbie Millman shares her journey to make and grow a garden-and the plants she has collected along the way-a process that started with handed-down houseplants from beloved friends and a lone peony observed for many seasons on a city street until it one day disappeared. This led to Millman growing gardens in both New York City and Los Angeles. Spread throughout are simple recipes using the garden's ingredients from Millman's wife, bestselling author Roxane Gay. Love Letter to a Garden is a little gem of a book-an inspiring, impulse-friendly story that can be read in one setting, then shared, experienced, pollinated, and perpetuated.
