Noted garden writer Page Dickey takes us on an insider's tour of 20 of the most charming gardens in America and Europe with the ideal garden companion—cats. Cats in Their Gardens explores author Roxana Robinson's country garden in upstate New York, Martha Stewart's perennial cottage garden in Westport, Connecticut, plus garden authority Penelope Hobhouse's private garden retreat in the English countryside, and other well-known gardens—not only as fine examples of garden design, but as sanctuaries for the cats who call them home. The author has trained her camera on an assortment of garden-loving cats, including calicos, Himalayans, Abyssinians, ocicats, Maine coon cats, and ordinary tabbies. Shown stretched out in the sun, draped languorously on a stone wall, or sprawled on the cool grass, these cats always manage to choose the most becoming flowers or foliage as backdrops.
