1. THE IVY BOOKSHOP
Start your garden lovers’ creative juices flowing
with these recommendations from The Ivy Bookshop,
including books by Maryland’s own Hilton Carter,
dubbed the “LeBron James of plant styling” by “Good
Morning America,” who’s the author of Wild at Home:
How to Style and Care for Beautiful Plants, Wild
Interiors: Beautiful Plants in Beautiful Spaces, and Wild
Creations: Inspiring Projects to Create plus Plant Care
Tips & Styling Ideas for Your Own Wild Interior. Also, not
to be missed is Kathy Hudson’s book, On Walnut Hill:
The Evolution of a Garden, which offers gardeners an
intimate look at the story of A.C. and Penney Hubbard’s
transformation of their two-acre Maryland garden. And
that’s just for starters. A variety of gardening guides
and diaries provide recommendations, inspiration and
hours of sheer enjoyment (and a little envy)!
