and inspiring! I preordered this book because I'm such an ardent admirer of the Giannetties amp their gorgeous Ojai Farm, It wasn't my intention, but because it features way more pictures than writing, when I sat down to look at it the minute it arrived I read it cover to cover right then amp there.
I will certainly be rereading it at a more leisurely pace and savoring the photos time and time again,

After reading, I can say it's a beautiful coffee table book I wouldn't have expected anything less with lots of inspiring amp darling photos of their gardens and sweet animals.
I understand why Brooke wants to bring so many baby chicks, birds, ducklings, etc, home with her. I feel exactly the same way when I see them! Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to make it work for me as lovely as they've been able to do.
There are some great tips in the book to consider about each type of animal that they have on their farm should one be considering a similar menagerie.
I also totally understand the feeling that their animal companions amp garden give them back as much, if not more, than it takes to care for them.

a garden myself, I find peace in that plot of nature just by being in it, I can only imagine how enriching the experience would be surrounded by everything they've worked so hard to create, I'm glad they're willing to share it thru their books amp social media so we can all enjoy it too, They have such an exquisite eye amp touch for beauty, their Ojai haven is a balm for the soul, The heartwarming story of how the Giannetties live and entertain in the welldesigned and lushly planted gardens of their farm in Ojai, California.
