Book Review: Restoring American Gardens

mother's and aunts' favorites in a new garden. It is also perfect for the reader who, while not a gardener himself, is writing an autobiography and wants to "set the scene" with plants remembered from his grandparents' and parents' gardens.

Here is a sampling from my well-used core of garden restoration books. You might also find some of them useful:

• For Every House a Garden by Rudy J. Favretti, and Joy P. Favretti;
  
• Landscapes and Gardens for Historic Buildings by Rudy Favretti;
  
• Early American Gardens by Ann Leighton;
  
• American Gardens in the Eighteenth Century by Ann Leighton;
  
• American Gardens of the Nineteenth Century by Ann Leighton.
