This stunning biography features much more than the memoirs of one extraordinary woman. Practically every page is a feast for the eyes with full-page views of Trudi’s one-acre garden, exquisite flower portraits, vignettes of a garden room and images of Trudi working in the garden. Sidebars include garden tips, recipes, practical advice highlighting Trudi’s lifetime of wisdom and historical information about
World War II.

Even the appendix is fascinating as Trudi discusses her favorite perennials and annuals, an illustrated list of twenty-two plants.
