A Year at Brandywine Cottage (Six Seasons of Beauty, Bounty, and Blooms)

In A Bountiful Year, David Culp uses Brandywine Cottage, his private garden in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, to show home gardeners how to truly enjoy the riches of the garden year-round. Organized by the garden’s natural seasons, the book offers advice and inspiration for outdoors, indoors, and in the kitchen. Gardeners will find plant combinations for the border; what’s in bloom in each particular month; anecdotes about special plants; and suggestions for projects and chores. They will also find suggestions for simple arrangements using flowers and foliage from the garden and tips for houseplants, terrariums, and forced bulbs. Culp also shares favorite recipes, suggest crops and combinations for kitchen gardens, and tell the stories behind unusual or heirloom vegetables. Fully illustrated with photography by Rob Cardillo, A Bountiful Year offers a lifestyle approach to gardening that will appeal to gardeners and homeowners everywhere.
