  • Child's Garden of Verses

    Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poems of childhood combined with Tasha Tudor's idyllic pictures, this is a treasured edition for any bookshelf.

    Here is a delightful look at childhood. In this collection of sixty-six poems, Stevenson recalls the joys of his childhood, from sailing boats down a river, to waiting for the lamplighter, to sailing off to foreign lands in his imagination. Tasha Tudor's watercolor paintings evoke a simpler time in the past, and celebrate two of the things she loves most: children and nature. Her talents are the perfect match for these inspiring poems, making this a handsome gift edition that will be cherished by familes for generations. Originally published with Tasha's illustrations in 1947 in a different form; it was redone in 1981, and it is these illustrations that grace this 2000 edition from Simon & Schuster's "Tasha Tudor Collection."

    Full-color illustrations.

  • Hollyhocks

    Beyond the grape arbor and to the south of the greenhouse resides Tasha’s hollyhock bank. Its proximity to the herb circle subtly unites it with the rest of the garden, but by late July when much of the color in the garden has faded it is the focal point, for the hollyhocks are in full bloom. Ranging from pure white to varying shades of pink and yellow, the hollyhocks are a wonderful presence, particularly very late in the afternoon when the sun sets beyond the field and for a moment casts its light across the entire garden.

  • June Garden

    A hot, humid, sunny, windless July day invariably brought an extra degree of happiness to Tasha, especially if she was gardening. By July the perfection of a June garden has mellowed into a green and pastel sprawl of perennials and annuals, some still in bloom but also preparing fruits and seeds. 

  • Secret Garden

    When orphaned Mary Lennox comes to live at her uncle's great house on the Yorkshire moors, she finds it full of secrets. At night, she hears the sound of crying down one of the long corridors. Outside, she meets Dickon, a magical boy who can talk to animals. Then one day, Mary discovers the most mysterious wonder of all-a secret garden, walled and locked, which has been forgotten for years and years.

    Frances Hodgson Burnett's story of how Mary Lennox brings a secret garden back to life has been loved by generations of readers since it was first published in 1912. Now, with this very special edition of Burnett's timeless classic, readers can continue to discover the magic of this powerful and deeply moving story. Originally illustrated by Tasha Tudor in 1962.

  • Seed Collecting

    On a partly-sunny day, when the skies are heavy with impending rain, but the sun refuses to be entirely hidden, the greens around Tasha's house are stunning. The leaves offer a hundred shades of green when the sunlight teases us and catches the dew.

  • Seed Harvest

    Though the snow is on the ground spring is near. The trees are budding against the full moon, and the days are longer. Yet spring in the hills of New England is relative. It is near, only in that it may be seen from afar, rather than not at all.

    Tasha Tudor started her garden in Vermont nearly fifty years ago, yet brought to it many decades of prior knowledge and experience. It is a very old garden created with much wisdom. Pleasing to the eye, it possesses plants and a purpose beyond visual appeal. She called it “just a good messy garden.”
