Books by Jan Johnsen

Heaven Is a Garden is about creating havens for the senses. Drawing on ancient traditions of "e;sacred space,"e; Jan Johnsen identifies the key natural elements of a garden that can give us feelings of renewal and inspiration. She shows us how we can introduce these calming, inspiring elements into our own gardens. The chapters explore "e;the power of place"e; and the surprising role that water, trees, shapes, color and sound play in transforming our state of mind. This richly illustrated guide invites us to bring more serenity into our lives.

"Gardentopia is that rare marriage of the art of landscaping and the technical knowledge of how to compose a landscape-boiled down to readily understood and easily executed actions. This book puts you in the driver's seat and shows you how to chart the course to your own personal garden utopia." - Margie Grace, Grace Design Associates
