MY GARDEN VISITS is Justin Matott's simple and moving remembrance of the visits made to him by his departed mother, Julia, visits that taught him how to alter and improve his own life. As Julia Matott was a devoted and gifted gardener, each visit is a vignette preceded by a brief botanical description, a reflection on the way the particular plant or flower relates to relationships, and a delicate and beautiful watercolor illustration.Now available to a wide audience, as lovely to look at as it is comforting to read, MY GARDEN VISITS is a special work sure to bloom in bookstores for years to come.
