Biographical Note: Review Quotes: "A tender ode to the passage of time, to the quiet ways in which nature anneals and consecrates our human nature, and an exquisite testament to the personal as the supreme portal to the universal." -- Maria Popova, writer Review Quotes: "Wise, profound and beautiful. It will unlock your soul."-- Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance Review Quotes: "I needed this passionate love letter--a gorgeous reminder to plant, tend, endure, wait, and discover, because only then will we gather our most nourishing dreams."-- Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko, finalist for the National Book Award Review Quotes: "Gardening, like love and cooking, is a contract with hope. It doesn't matter if you have a small garden or a large garden or no garden: we all need this delightful, beautiful book now more than ever. With wonderful recipes born from the combination of affection and flavor, Love Letter to a Garden is the story of what it means to plant the seeds of sustenance and watch them grow into nourishment not only for the body but the soul."-- Elissa Altman, author of Motherland Review Quotes: "This book is everything! After reading it, I just sat with my heart in my throat laughing and tearing up. I've read and loved Millman's work for so long, but this may be my new favorite! Love Letter to a Garden is bold, beautiful, brilliant, and deeply personal. I have never read a book that at once makes me want to plunge my hands in the soil, hug my beloved, and cook a meal." -- Jacqueline Woodson, author of Brown Girl Dreaming, winner of the National Book Award Review Quotes: "Oh, what a book! Debbie Millman is a living love letter--to creativity, curiosity, and the importance of paying exquisitely careful attention. What a delight to see these pages bloom with beauty, life, and tenderness. You will find her wisdom here, you'll see her artistry, but most importantly, you'll encounter her singular heart, gloriously and abundantly on display." -- Mariska Hargitay & Peter Hermann, Actors & Activists Review Quotes: "While culture drags us toward the artificial, Millman returns us to real intelligence: nature's rhythm of planting, patience, bloom. As I turned each beautiful page of Love Letter to a Garden, I felt my heart opening and my pulse slowing as I remembered that the rhythms of Millman's garden are also the rhythms of humanity--of me. This book is a modern Gift from the Sea, reminding us that all the joy, wisdom, peace and magic we need is right here in forests, in neighborhoods, in backyards, in a single seed. As Millman awakens our awe for the miraculous planet, perhaps we'll also find the drive to save it."-- Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed Review Quotes: " Love Letter to a Garden by Debbie Millman recounts how the Design Matters podcaster evolved from a houseplant-killer into an avid gardener and what it taught her about herself." -- Publishers Weekly Review Quotes: "Reflective, inspirational, and meditative, this is the perfect "off-season" recharge for gardeners, whether aspiring or experienced. But even non-gardeners will find comfort and nourishment in a book that is as much about self-care as it is about tending a garden."-- Booklist Review Quotes: "The dreamy illustrations of daisies, roses, tomato plants, and other flora will inspire in readers the same sense of awe that Millman feels while working with nature... Gardeners will relish this reverent offering."-- Publishers Weekly Review Quotes: "In this deeply personal, lovingly illustrated story of her gardening life, designer and visual artist Debbie Millman relates how she came to be a gardener. Many plants died in the process but her fascination with growing things endured, and success followed. Her writing reveals the joys of gardening the joys of gardening that no amount of failure can diminish."-- The American Gardener Review Quotes: "A poignant, visual ode to the natural world's power to sustain, inspire, and regenerate....While there are plenty of gardening books that teach you how to irrigate a raised bed or identify an aphid infestation, there is no other book like this."-- Oprah Daily Review Quotes: "The drawings, lovely paintings, and photographs delight while enhancing Millman's thoughts and Gay's recipes. This slim, attractive, and charming book will be enjoyed by gardeners and artists interested in plants." -- Library Journal Review Quotes: "Page after painted page, Debbie's lifelong longing for a garden is slowly revealed as her process of becoming herself, beginning with the portal of wonder that opened the moment her grandmother told her the seeds in the apple she was eating could grow a tree... What emerges from her Love Letter to a Garden is a tender reminder that we are here to plant a garden in the abyss, and to trust time."-- The Marginalian Review Quotes: "Queer literary power couple Debbie Millman and Roxane Gay teamed up to create the pocket-sized wonder Love Letter to a Garden...a comforting read that can transform your gardening and cooking skills."-- Book Riot Review Quotes: "The author's colorful illustrations, hand lettering and keen design sense, together with Gay's garden-based recipes for "beautiful food" tell an intimate story of hope and resilience."-- The Seattle Times Publisher Marketing: From an award-winning artist, designer, and the host of the podcast Design Matters, this book tells the visual story of falling in love with gardening--and the philosophies that work conjures. Debbie Millman 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--a garden is 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. 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. Review Citations:
