Dewey Decimal Number: 635 EAN: 9780060194536 ISBN: 0060194537 Label: HarperCollins Manufacturer: HarperCollins Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 192 Publication Date: 2000-04 Publisher: HarperCollins Release Date: April 04, 2000 Studio: HarperCollins Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Combining lovely scrapbook pages with a wealth of inspiration, recipes, and design suggestions, the Spring Notebook from Carolyne Roehm is the last seasonal title in her series. With a gorgeous matte cover disguising a practical spiral binding, you can refer to this frequently, and for years to come, without affecting its sturdiness one bit. Separate areas focus on individual types of blooms--all the spring classics are here, including daffodils, tulips, pansies, and peonies. Discussion is mainly about the arranging and choosing of plants--for details on such practicalities as pest control or bulb rot, look elsewhere. Even a few favorite seasonal edibles are addressed--recipes for rhubarb, strawberries, and asparagus will have your mouth watering, and most, such as simple Rhubarb Bread, are straightforward and without a lot of extra steps. In all sections, the photographs are lush and light-filled, and seem evenly mixed between close-ups full of incredible detail and larger shots that provide a sense of a plant's overall effect in a garden. Detailed lists of possible plant choices are given for each category, limited to the author's favorites from her own gardens--with 3,000 tulips in the world to choose from, you'll be glad for the restraint Roehm shows in including only 62. A delightful way of containing all of spring's bounty into one book, this scrapbook will provide you with one special place for keeping your ideas, notes, and memories of the season. --Jill Lightner Product Description: Average Rating:

However, they are short on horticultural details for the plants that are featured, so one should not buy them for that kind of information. The recipes are good, the floral arrangements are inspiring. The format of focusing on one season at a time makes them a nice primer to help you think about what you want to accomplish or gear up for in the next three months, which is nice from a planning ...
