Rebecca Winn became a landscape designer by instinct.

She knew that something about the flowers, the soil, the cycle and the discovery fed her soul.

When her life fell apart, it was her garden that taught her how to heal.

In her new book, “One Hundred Daffodils,” she shares those lessons with us.
