"Through explorations of the botanical inspirations and symbolism in Austen's work and personal life, as well as historical information about the gardens and landscapes of the Regency Era, Jane Austen's Garden will transport readers back in time to the lush English landscape of the early 1800s. Woven throughout are DIY projects to help you create a home garden worthy of a surprise visit from Lady Catherine de Bourgh or maybe just give your dining table a bit of historical flair. Accessible, entertaining, and enhanced by the enchanted illustrations of celebrated artist Jessica Roux, Jane Austen's Garden is a fun twist on a familiar subject that will delight plant lovers and Janeites alike."--Amazon
