A Dreamers Dream

This is the book that you will pick up and read over and over again as it inspires you to turn your own place into a tropical paradise. This is one of my very favorites in my personal library and I just wish there were more like it. Not a "how to" but a wonderful book for daydreams. A combination of good writing and gorgeous photographs...always a winner!

Along with William Warren's books there are no better sources of "ideas" for your tropical garden. Buy it!
