“A garden isn’t built overnight.
You have to wait at least 12 years.

But I love gardens so much I can't stand it." ―Tasha Tudor

The book "Tasha Tudor's Garden" (first published in 2008), which contains the most beautiful moments in Tasha's garden, has been republished.
This book, which was considered a life book for plant lovers and those who dream of a naturalistic lifestyle, has returned to the hearts of countless readers who had been desperately hoping for its reprint after going out of print, with a welcome face like spring flowers.
This revised edition has a refreshing interior design that feels like looking into Tasha's comfortable diary, and a luxurious yellow hardcover edition that brightens the mind, making it more collectible.
In the full splendor of spring, the story of Tasha Tudor, an icon of eternal hope, will be a special gift to those who wish to chart the course of their lives and find their own peace, regardless of the gaze of those around them.

“Can I really do it?”, “Is it too late to start now?” Tasha Tudor speaks to those who worry about a new beginning.
“Isn’t life short? If you have something you want to do, it’s better to do it.” Tasha Tudor, who used the royalties she earned from her children’s books and illustrations to purchase 100 acres of desolate land in the Vermont mountains and transformed it into a fantastical garden.
It was when he was fifty-six that he began to cultivate his own garden, which he had long dreamed of.
When everyone said it was too late, Tasha never forgot the dream of gardening she had in her youth, and the garden she cultivated with her own passion became her greatest pride and the foundation of her life. Tasha's lifestyle, where she lived freely and quietly walked towards her dream, has moved countless readers around the world for over a decade.

In this book, Tasha personally guides us through the beginnings, current state, and maintenance process of the garden she has been tending alone for over 40 years.
It includes the most recent views of Tasha's garden, along with old sketches of the garden's original conception and black-and-white photographs from the period when the garden's foundations were laid.
As you gaze upon the feast of flowers and trees, guided by Tasha's calming voice and witty guidance, you will find yourself naturally filled with happiness, and you will also glimpse Tasha's unwavering passion and affection hidden behind it all.
In Tasha's words, "I never want to be humble about my garden," we gain the courage to continue to pursue our dreams each day, finding our own happiness at our own pace, rather than trying to squeeze in a moment of happiness by fitting in with someone else's pace.

As you open the book, which contains over 100 enchanting seasonal garden scenes, from a pink garden filled with peonies and roses to a greenhouse with orange trees and a path lined with azaleas, you can almost hear Tasha's excited voice welcoming the arrival of spring after a long winter.
“Spring has come again, with green grass sprouting up above the previously unseen ground, and dandelions, daffodils, forget-me-nots, and tulips blooming together.
“Happy spring!”

Into the book
I often heard people say, "Why bother moving to a new place and throw away all the gardens you've worked so hard to build in New Hampshire?" but I desperately wanted to live in Vermont.
Life is short, isn't it? If there's something you want to do, it's better to do it.
Moving to Vermont changed my life dramatically.
I can't even imagine living anywhere but Vermont these days.

--- p.9

A garden isn't built overnight.
You have to wait at least 12 years.
But I love gardens so much I can't stand it.
I never thought it was hard at all because just doing garden work was satisfying.

--- p.17

I love the beautiful colors and fragrance of hyacinths, so every fall I plant a large number of different colored bulbs along my paths.
When spring comes and the hyacinths are in full bloom, it is truly a sight to behold.
It is blooming beautifully and suits the climate here well.
I want to see pretty flowers the following year too, so I dig up the bulbs early after the flowers bloom and store them.

--- p.33

I sow seeds in boxes at the end of summer, grow them, and then transplant them.
If you pick withered flowers, you can see them blooming all year round.
--- p.36

Peonies are an indispensable flower to me.
It is a long-lived flower that blooms beautifully every year without much care.
I love the fragrant, double-flowered peonies so much that I've planted a long flower bed in front of my house filled with various types of peonies, each blooming at slightly different times.
Aren't pink peonies like these rare to see?
--- p.42

I love dahlias, so I planted them here and there in my garden, but I think the pink garden is the best place for them.
When the flowers bloom, a wonderful fragrance spreads, and then I lie down on the ground and enjoy the fragrance to my heart's content.

--- p.87

I have white, pink, and purple dwarf cherries in my garden.
All of these are planted for the enjoyment of flowers, but the fruits become food for birds.

--- p.89

I also love the lovely and fragrant lilacs, such as the colkwitsia, which has beautiful branches that droop like a fountain and shows off its beautiful flowers for a long time.
Its abundant form adds a three-dimensional feel to the garden.

--- p.99

Seth built a bench around the zelkova tree behind the house.
We surrounded it with heart-shaped flower beds to create a secret garden.
The azaleas and rhododendrons planted throughout the garden in the best locations have continued to greet us with happy faces ever since.
--- p.126

Publisher's Review
Now is the best time to start,
With the heart of a gardener who learns and dreams forever

“A garden isn’t built overnight.
But I love gardens so much I can't stand it." - Tasha Tudor

This book is like a photo diary that allows you to take a deeper look into the garden of Tasha Tudor, a gardener who is forever learning and dreaming.
Tasha, who has loved flowers and plants since childhood, has turned halfway through her life and has brought her dream garden into reality.
By diligently saving up the royalties he earned from illustrating picture books, he was able to purchase land in Vermont, the state he had always dreamed of, at the age of 56. With his hands, dirtied with dirt, he diligently transformed the barren wasteland into a dazzlingly beautiful garden.


The book traces the beginnings of Tasha's garden, from the clearing of rough pastures to the 1740s-style farmhouse, barn, and greenhouse, and contains the silent footsteps of Tasha as she built the garden and life she envisioned.
Tasha's own design drawings are also included, allowing you to get a glimpse into the vibrant times in her garden.
When everyone asked if it was too late, Tasha's garden, where she walked towards her dream while immersed in nature, is filled with sweat, effort, and patience.
“Can I really do it?”, “Is it too late to start now?” For those who worry about a new beginning, and for us today who have become accustomed to the happiness that can be immediately grasped rather than endlessly dreamed, Tasha’s calm voice as she walks barefoot along the dirt path and tends the garden resonates deeply.

A breathtakingly beautiful landscape that astonished the world
Tasha's garden, beautiful in all four seasons, is right before your eyes.

From a pink garden filled with peonies and roses to a greenhouse filled with orange trees and a path lined with azaleas, you'll find yourself filled with happiness as you gaze upon the flowers and trees, guided by Tasha's friendly and witty voice.
Tasha's garden, overflowing with dozens of flowers—forget-me-nots, daffodils, peonies, daylilies, hollyhocks, primroses, tulips, and chrysanthemums—exudes beauty as if touched by the hand of God, but it wasn't created easily.
As Tasha says, a garden takes at least 12 years to complete, and the garden, filled with all kinds of flowers, grasses, and trees, is the result of a lot of hard work and love poured into it.

Tasha began gardening when she built her home in Vermont, transplanting bulbs from her old home and gradually changing the soil to suit her plants by mixing compost into the soil.
Of course, after much trial and error, we found flowers that can withstand Vermont's cold climate.
For the first plant, buy several of the same type and plant them in different places, and then move them to the place where they grow best. In late fall, compost is spread throughout the garden, and cold-sensitive plants are cared for in a warm greenhouse throughout the winter.
Tasha's garden is always meticulously tended, never resting her hands for a moment, always wondering what the plants want and how to make them happy, so that Tasha's garden shows off its enchanting appearance every season.

For those who dream of having their own garden someday
The Secret to a Garden That Follows Your Heart and the Joy of Gardening

Tasha's garden, which exists as a driving force that sustains life and a source of happiness, shines even more in its own right.
Tasha says that it was only when she was nearing her twilight years that she finally began to nurture and cultivate the dreams she had always cherished in her heart.
“Isn’t life short? If there’s something you want to do, it’s better to do it.” As if rewarding Tasha’s hard work of gardening without fail, flowers bloom everywhere in the garden, and Tasha, captivated by the sight, quickly captures them in a painting, and then lies down like a cat to enjoy the fragrance.
Tasha's voice, as she cuts and gathers hyacinth stems and whispers the joy of gardening, is imbued with the pure passion of a human being absorbed in something they love.

True to her reputation of never being humble about her garden, Tasha also shared her seasonal gardening know-how.
It thoroughly explains not only how to grow and move plants to avoid cold and heat, but also how to plant and arrange various garden plants while considering the harmony of color, scent, and texture.
We also recommend plants that are good to plant along the borders of flower beds and paths, such as forget-me-nots, sweet alyssum, and hyacinths.
Don't forget to enjoy flowers in a different way.
If you plant flowers in a pot, box, or wooden container and place them in front of your front door, you can enjoy them more as you pass by them on your way in and out.
As we follow Tasha's daily life, where she is completely absorbed in her passions, in a garden she has cultivated to her heart's content, we are led to reflect on our attitude toward everyday life and the meaning of true happiness.
As you turn the last page, you might find yourself searching for a seed, a flower, or a small flowerpot.
