What a wonderful collection of essays. Most are funny as well as informative. All communicate the wonder and spiritual nature of the garden. I loved it!!
My favorites are E.B. White on his wife's habit of gardening in whatever clothes she's wearing at the time, including expensive suits and shoes; Allen Lacy's essays on why he hates hydrangeas, and why his wife hates elephant ears (both very funny); and Gertrude Jekyl on the appeal of disorder in the garden.
