Books with title The Invisible Flower Garden

A young girl and her family travel from the city to the country to celebrate her grandmother's birthday. Someone suggests that Arianne, as the only child at the party, might enjoy exploring the garden more than listening to the adults chat. Arianne is unsure what to do in the quiet garden, and she soon lies down out of boredom. But then she spots a pebble . . . and a grasshopper . . . and flies away on a dandelion seed pod into the cosmos as she discovers the freedom of her imagination. With very little text, this book lets the illustrations tell the charming story of a child carried away into a world much bigger than herself.

It is organized in three parts and explains how to select the right varieties for individual climates and designs, describes various themed gardens and provides an illustrated reference to more than four hundred species: Part 1 gives you nitty-gritty information on nurturing plants, improving soil and fighting pests and diseases. Part 2 provides designs and ideas for 23 inspirational theme gardens. Part 3 is a photographic encyclopedia of more than 400 plants, with advice on how to keep them happy and thriving.
