Looking for book suggestions about gardeners [View all]

Hello -

I was wondering if anyone here would be able to suggest a few good books about gardeners and their gardens.

I'm not really looking for "how to" books....more along the lines of gardeners telling their stories about their gardens (how they got started, successes and set-backs, etc.)

I guess you could say that I'm looking for inspiration...I'm hoping to start a flower garden next year, and I would love to read about other gardeners and their gardens.

Thank you very much.

Tim
