Letter from the editor
Over the course of its history, the presidents and their families found all sorts
of ways to use and enjoy the White House garden. James Madison and Michelle
Obama grew food. Ike played golf. JFK, not Jackie, planned and oversaw the
installation of the rose garden. And no doubt many of them found it a peaceful
respite at the end of a long day. All the Presidents’ Gardens reveals the stories
behind the development of the most famous garden in the United States and
how it has served as a backdrop to history.
Our readers are no different from the presidents, using their gardens and the
natural world around them in a multitude of ways. Timber Press has books that
will help them grow their garden, further their appreciation of nature, and teach
them how to be better stewards of the earth.
In Beaks, Bones, and Bird Songs readers will gain a greater understanding of
the miraculous feats that birds perform every day in their efforts to survive.
For those who garden indoors, Sunken Gardens shows how to create magical
underwater gardens that are tiny self-contained ecosystems. Though most
people experience a garden with their eyes, engaging their sense of smell can
bring a garden more fully to life. The Aromatherapy Garden tells the best plants
to grow for fragrance and how to use them both in the garden and in the home.
And since everyone would like a comfortable place to sit, Hand-Built Outdoor
Furniture offers instructions for building stools, benches, and chairs to sink
into while kicking back to enjoy the garden.
These are just a few of the highlights from this season’s new titles. Our catalog
offers many more opportunities to help readers garden like a president.

ALL THEPRESIDENTS’
GARDENSMadison’s Cabbages to Kennedy’sRoses –How the White House GroundsHave Grown with AmericaMARTA McDOWELL
The eighteen acres that surround the White House have been
an unwitting witness to history—a backdrop or soldiers,
suffragettes, protestors, and activists. Kings and queens have
dined there, bills and treaties have been signed, and presidents
have landed and retreated. The rontyard and backyard or thefirst amily, it is by extension the nation’s first garden.
All the Presidents’ Gardens tells the
untold history o the White House
grounds. Starting with the seed-
collecting, plant-obsessed George
Washington and ending with
Michelle Obama’s ocus on edibles,
this rich and compelling narrative
reveals how the story o the garden is also the story o America.
Readers learn about Lincoln’s goats, Ike’s putting green, Jackie’siconic roses, and Amy Carter’s tree house. They also learn the
plants whose avor has come and gone over the years, and the
gardeners who have been responsible or it all.
Fully illustrated with new and historical photographs and art,
rereshingly nonpartisan, and releasing just in time or election
year, this is a must read or anyone interested in the red, white,
and green.

BEAKS,BONES, AND
BIRD SONGSHow the Struggle for Survival hasShaped Birds and Their BehaviorROGER LEDERER
When we see birds flying rom branch to branch happily
chirping, it is easy to imagine they lead simple lives o reedom,
flight, and eathers. What we don’t see is the arduous, lie-
threatening challenges they ace at every moment.
In Beaks, Bones, and Bird Songs, ornithologist Roger Lederer
guides the reader through the myriad, and ofen almost
miraculous, things that birds do every day to merely stay
alive. Like the goldfinch, who
manages extreme weather changes
by doubling the density o its
plumage in winter. Or urban
birds who navigate traffic through
a keen understanding o posted
speed limits. In engaging and
accessible prose, Lederer shares how and why birds use theirsensory abilities to see ultraviolet light, find ood without
seeing it, fly thousands o miles without stopping, change their
songs in noisy cities, navigate by smell, and much more.
Lederer has studied bird behavior or more than thirty years.
In Beaks, Bones, and Bird Songs he shares this knowledge in
an entertaining and eye-opening way that will be widely
embraced by birders and nature lovers.

EVOLVING
LANDSCAPESCreate Native Gardens that Unfold Over TimeLARRY WEANER & THOMAS CHRISTOPHER
Larry Weaner is an icon in the world o ecological landscape
design—he has designed more than two hundred meadows
and woodland gardens in his thirty years in the business and
is the ounder o the annual conerence New Directions in the
American Landscape. And now his revolutionary approach is
available to all gardeners.
Evolving Landscapes shows how an ecological approach toplanting can lead to beautiul gardens that buck many o
conventional gardening’s counter-productive, time-consuming
practices. Instead o picking the
wrong plant and then constantly
tilling, weeding, irrigating, and
ertilizing, Weaner advocates or
choosing plants that are adapted to
the soil and climate o a specific site,
and letting them naturally evolve over
time. Allowing the plants to find their own niches, to spread
their seed around until they find the microclimate and spot thatsuits them best, creates a landscape that is vibrant, dynamic, and
gorgeous year afer year.
This lushly-photographed reerence is an important moment
in horticulture that will be embraced by anyone looking or a
better, smarter way to garden.
