Velvet pears







I absolutely adore the book "Velvet Pears by author and gardener Susan Southam. I have read the book from cover to cover and every page was a pleasant surprise. I have always loved beautiful gardens but I was never much of a gardener, I suppose in my busy life I just never slowed down enough to appreciate how soulful and rewarding gardening can be. This beautifully illustrated book is a diary of a passionate gardener with a beautiful story to tell.

A grown up story book you will love.
you can email us at lilyg1@bigpond.com if you would like us to send you a copy xx

Sue Southam is such a talented girl - she can cook, garden and sew, not to mention handy with a paintbrush! I worked with Sue on getting the book happening and I have written up some things in my blog if you want to take a look.
Glad its getting such a great response.
