Author: Kari Cornell
Like a story, a garden unfolds, beckoning us onward into another world. Just so, this book beckons, its words and pictures leading us along like the thread of a well-told tale, showing us the paths worn by hard work and tender care, and surprising us with the pleasure of an unexpected insight, a glimpse into the bouquet of someone else's thoughts. Michael Pollan, Vita Sackville-West, Beverley Nichols, Ann Lovejoy, Tovah Martin, Wayne Winterrowd, Joe Eck, Anna Pavord, Dan Hinkley, and Suzy Bales eloquently share their experiences "in the dirt" with humor and passion. Whether exploring personal and spiritual connections or reflecting on the art of the flower, reviewing the trials and joys of designing ones own garden space or reminiscing on past gardens visited and loved, the story they tell is as old as the garden of Eden and as fresh as the dew on this morning's rosebud. The stories are accompanied by sumptuous illustrations, from the brilliant colors of modern photography by Jerry Harpur, Richard Felber, Richard Brown, and Jane Booth, to the subtleties of vintage artwork featured in garden catalogs and on seed packets.
