In Love with a Hillside Garden by Ann Streissguth

Offers insight into concepts of linking inside and outside rooms and of combining private and public spaces. This book describes the process through which the authors transformed a steep forested hillside in the heart of Seattle into a deciduous woodland garden with banks of perennials, a dell, and a site for ornamental and food-producing plants.

"The Streissguth's labor of love over the years reminds us there are no accidental gardenersTheir admirable story should be better known hereabouts."
