I’d like to thank all the friends who showed their enthusiasm for this project from the very beginning, offering ideas and advice, and criticism when due. Their feedback was invaluable. Special thanks go out to—
JULIUS MARCARELLI, my favorite (if only) brother-in-law, for years of gardening advice and teaching me how to braid garlic.
TOM HINES and STEVE RUSSO at Custom Crete Warehouse in North Haven, Connecticut, who answered endless questions about cement products and even included me in a fabulous workshop they held for contractors. To say that they encouraged me on would be an understatement!
ELADIO CERVANTES, my right-hand garden guy—a man whose enormous strength of character matches his energy, enthusiasm, and brute strength.
MERILEE PRITCHARD, for tending my gardens when I was away from home for extended periods of time. She is also a favorite mosaic buddy.
MAKARY ZUKOFF, for building advice and the loan of his tile saw when the terra-cotta and mosaic projects piled up.
BILL and MARYANN RICKER, for leaving their electric cement mixer in my care when they moved.
PAUL and JUDY RUEGER, for an endless supply of bamboo.
BRUCE STUCKEY, for egging me on when four tomato varieties would have been more than enough!
DOROTHY and ANNE NEUBIG, for welcoming us to the neighborhood and being so generous with their Kubota when the loads got too heavy.
BOB BAYLOR, for an endless supply of free hardwood chips for my walkways.
RAINA KATTELSON and JOHN GRUEN, for incredibly beautiful photography, and SUN YOUNG PARK, for illustrations that bring my garden to life.
MELANIE FALICK, for having faith in this project from the start and welcoming me to the STC catalog of books.
CHRIS TIMMONS, again, for being an incredible editor. If she were a beautician, I would be Miss America by now!
Last, but not least, my chief gardening assistant, my patient muse, my cutter of big trees and mover of heavy rocks, ARTHUR.
