“More than other offerings, A Garden Story speaks to the garderner's
reason for being.” — The Christian Science Monitor “Whiteson elegantly turns the transformation of his backyard into metaphor
and memoir, seamlessly enhanced by his newly acquired gardening lore.…
One of those rare books about gardening that encourages rather than intimidates.” “In [Whiteson's] case both life and garden are eccentric, colorful,
and full of fascination for the reader, even perhaps for one indifferent
to gardening.” “Nongardeners can appreciate this book, and gardeners will be delighted
by it.” “A Garden Story is a tribute to both the experimental nature
of gardening and of life.... Leon Whiteson's garden lingers in the mind
because it grew from the heart. His 'garden story' is emotional, immediate,
and rich.” |
