Dominique Browning's new garden book recommendations

Readers of House & Garden will recognize Dominique Browning as the editor-in-chief of the now defunct magazine.  Browning has authored six books including her newest, titled Slow Love. I miss House & Garden and Browning's editorials but a local bookseller, McNally Jackson, is providing some Browning love.  The bookshop has created a display of seven garden books recommended by the author:

1. Gardening for a Lifetime
2. Garden Guide New York City
3. Edible Estates 
4. Talking Dirt
5. vegetables, herbs & fruit
6. The Seasons of Henry's Farm
7. The Locavore's Handbook.
