Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:No one understands fun like Felder Rushing. Invite him into your garden, and that boring old bird-scarer becomes a figure of mystery and power, a folk art masterpiece, and the best time you'll have all summer. -- Thomas Christopher, Gardening columnist for House and Garden "Felder Rushing is one of America's horticultural gems. His book, Scarecrows, is a wonderful blend of fact, folklore, and fun." -- Doug Jimerson, Editor-in-Chief of garden.com "In usual Felder style, this new book is filled with imagination, is fun, well researched, full of ideas, and genuinely useful. This is a must for my bookshelf." -- Holly H.
