Magic isn’t so much what you create, it’s what you notice – Phillip Watson

I had the chance to sit down with Phillip Watson to briefly discuss his book, “Garden Magic”. If gardening or if you are an aspiring gardener, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. If you are someone who just loves beautiful, calming, inspirational pictures, you too will enjoy this book. It is the perfect “Coffee Table” book. Here is an inside peek of some of the special pages in this book and our chat.

Phillip why did you put this one together?

This is a dream book that allows people's dreams to come true for their gardens. It is a full immersion book.. how to grow plants, how to place the plants, how to care for the plants. You look at the beautiful flowers and get inspired as you may not have thought of that color combination before.

Country Estates have the feel of the old leather chair you’ve had for years – a bit worn around the edges. – Phillip Watson

My private retreat gives me strength and inspiration which has allowed me to move forward – Phillip Watson

Did you ever take a walk through the forest, stop and dream among the trees? – Mac Davis

Edible Gardens – an edible garden may be many things. Great tip.. Keep it simple and only grow the things you eat. As a child Phillip played in his maternal grandfather's warehouse which was full of big sacks of vegetable seeds. His granddaddy owned Service Seed Company in Crystal Springs, Mississippi.

God Light – the most ephemeral magic is the all embracing mantle of gold know as God Light. Suddenly it appears and just as suddenly it is gone. – Phillip Watson
