Labor of Love offers an invitation to the reader to join the author on her lifelong quest for garden beauty. Part memoir and partly a serious "how-to" tome, this book will appeal to experienced gardeners as well as the novice. Humorous glimpses into one gardener's experiences coexist with extensive cultural information on important plant groups such as daylilies, roses and hosta guaranteeing the reader that they will be entertained as well as informed and inspired. Many will identify with the author's self-described state of being an obsessed gardener, and will be able to laugh at some of the adventures she had in pursuit of her vision of the perfect flower garden.
