This book opens up to a world of color and emotion. Mar expresses himself with a genuine caring and understanding of both people and animals. He encourages people to think for themselves and explore their inner art form. I was wildly impressed with this book and keep it at the top of my coffee table for all guests to peruse. Prepare your eyes for a gorgeous color collection of goodies.

This book is a MAR-velous insight to a beautiful home and garden of four seasons. I especially enjoyed the colorful pictures and visualizations that are depicted throughout this book. I look forward to see what is next on Mar's plate.

I purchased this book as a novice gardener and after reading it, boy do I feel inspired! Mar Jennings offers so many innovative and fresh ideas that I plan to try myself; his insight and tips make even a new gardener like myself feel like I can do it all! The pictures are amazing and fun and best of all, you can really feel the love and passion that Mar has for gardening, his cute dog Corky, and just living a bright and happy life. You will be more than happy with this purchase and it's also a great gift idea. Thanks Mar and I hope there are many more books to come!

I was visiting a friend in Westport, CT, and I saw this book there. Was interested to learn about his tv show and local appearances, so took a chance. I love it! And it all seems so achievable - not like some books where you know it was prepped by a staff of thousands and then the "celeb" stands in front of it and says "why didn't you think of this?" or "oh, it's so easy". Yah, right. I've ordered several more now that I'm back in NY City for friends and family, and everyone loves the story of how this man's garden evolved. You won't be disappointed.

"I TOO WANT TO MOVE TO MAR'S"
Dear Mar,
In 2006, I met you briefly in New York City at a charity event that you were hosting. I recently ordered your book and wanted to let you know how wonderful I think it is. I was so inspired and motivated after reading it that I purchased another copy for my Mother-In –Law who is truly in love with you, your show and your garden. We chat at length about the beautiful pictures of your garden and the heart warming story that your book tells. It should be an inspiration to all of us how life is good and our home and garden can offer many lessons to learn from. You have a gift, and your experiences unfold beautifully page by page. I too want to move to "Mar's" !

Thank you for the gift that keeps on giving.

For Author and Lifestyle Expert Mar Jennings, there is nothing he loves more than turning a neglected, bramble-strewn backyard into a lush, inviting oasis -- an out-of-doors living room that's just as enjoyable for you and your friends as it is to the crickets and chickadees.

His new book, Life on Mar's, A Four Season Garden, tells you how to do just that. It's chockablock with advice -- and not just instructions on, say, how to plant a rose bush (see page 26), but also on the art of being a good neighbor, a gracious host and a memorable entertainer.

There's more to transforming your backyard than ordering plants from the nursery. As Jennings gently points out in the pages of Life on Mar's, it also takes patience, creativity, a love of the outdoors and -- most importantly -- a mindset that will make your efforts fun and rewarding.

"LIFE ON MAR'S is filled with passion and surprises in life."

Your Four Season Garden evokes memories of my garden and home. I love the snow decorating the evergreens and statues.

Thank You for the journey, beauty and inspiration in LIFE.
