My Garden Visits

This book is a real treasure! It is one of my favorites that I have read several times. I could really relate to the author's story. While reading I found that we had similar experiences but for me it was with my father. It made me reflect on my memories with him. I am grateful the author shared his experiences...I love that each chapter begins with a watercolor illustration of a flower with both the botanical and common name and a brief description of this flower...The author is a great storyteller and his book is positive and full of good energy. I found his words comforting: "Love is Eternal"....

Straight to the Heart

My Garden Visits is a book which should be read by anyone who has lost a loved one. After reading this book, I have since purchased this for many people who also have had similar experiences as this author. This is a book which will be around for a long time. Mr. Matott's use of reference to his hobby and his experiences give you goose bumps if you have had a similar experience.

Your loved ones are always with you.

If you've ever lost a loved one, this book will touch your heart and reassure you that love goes on. You'll remember what it's like being a child, exploring the world and learning from your family. You'll remember what it was like growing up and sometimes losing someone you loved more than life itself. But you'll discover you never really lose those you love. Just a wonderful and uplifting book.

Excellent!

I loved this book. It made me laugh, cry and reflect on things important to me and my relationships. This is a perfect Mother's Day gift.

A book I will enjoy every Spring and Summer

This is a book I give as gifts and cherish in my own library. Every time I read it I find something new to love about it!
