With over 280 color photos and 42 projects, Modern Japanese Ikebana unlocks the mysteries of the art of Ikebana. By following the N Style method, you can bring a natural flow to your arrangements, achieving balance and an overall harmony of design.

This book is a photograph narrative of fifty years of the anticipation of the annual cycle of the emergence and waning of the flora-fauna (phenology) in a suburban backyard setting, illustrating the effects of environmental and climate change. The intention of the book is to demonstrate this anticipation of the annual activity of life, hopefully to plant an acquisitive seed in the reader to follow suit for a better appreciation and enjoyment of the anticipation of their environment.
Gardening
This book is a result of three and a half years of weekly columns in the Newark (Ohio) Advocate many years ago. It was very well received, and I often got comments from people I came across about a certain article that was helpful. I simply wrote about the things I did, learned, and failed at over that time. Gardening can be funny, you will learn in this book. My husband was a major asset in gardening and in providing funny situations, but I think he liked getting hit in the head often. As for content, the articles follow the seasons of Ohio which came as I wrote them, but my sense is they can be far more widely applied in other areas of the country. I hope you learn from and enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Happy gardening! Jo Ann Wiblin
