    [synopsis] => There aren't many books more beloved than “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” and even fewer authors as iconic as Beatrix Potter. Her characters- Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle Duck, and all the rest, exist in a charmed world filled with flowers and gardens. In Beatrix Potter's Gardening Life, bestselling author Marta McDowell explores the origins of Beatrix Potter's love of gardening and plants and shows how this passion came to be reflected in her work.

The book begins with a gardener's biography, highlighting the key moments and places throughout her life that helped define her. Next, follow Beatrix Potter through a year in her garden, with a season-by-season overview of what is blooming that truly brings her gardens alive. The book culminates in a traveler's guide, with information on how and where to visit Potter's gardens today. Richly illustrated and filled with quotations from her books, letters, and journals, Beatrix Potter's “Gardening Life” is essential reading for all who know and cherish Beatrix Potter and her classic tales.
