A gardening book like no other, this guide, inspired by Nature and a Southern upbringing, presents practical information in bite-sized portions, and spices it with inspirational, cultural, historical, scientific, pictorial, anecdotal, and whimsical information to give the gardener a comforting context in which to work. Written by a professional nursery owner and lifelong gardener, the book also shows, through the writing and entertaining illustrations, how gardening influences our lives and families and how garden activities intertwine with, and become a part of, our personal histories. It explores a multitude of garden-related subjects, inspires a balanced relationship with oneself and nature, and gives perspective to the circle of life.
