Mary Engelbreit's charmingly illustrated book entitled Words for Gardeners to Live By is a wonderful gift for the gardener who has everything. As always, her illustrations are just wonderful and the garden quotes are a lot of fun.

The book is broken up into three sections. About Flowers, the first section of the book, highlights sayings and quotes that mention flowers. Each page also is beautifully illustrated. The second section, About Gardens, is just as charming and fun to read. The third section is entitled About Nature and, again, Mary picked some wonderful sayings and did a terrific job illustrating this section. I constantly find myself opening the book at random to read one of the garden quotes Mary has selected and enjoy her illustrations.

The only drawback to the book is that it is a bit small and the size does not do Mary’s lovely artwork justice. I really enjoyed this little book of garden quotes and give it 4 ½ out of 5 sunflowers.
