In a fresh crop of funny, pungent and unpredictable essays, American Charles Elliot chifts his gaze beyond his adopted home of Britain, the world's largest potting shed, to observe the gardens and gardening habits of some of the rest of the world. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

To me the most touching essay was "On Keeping Track," a rumination on gardening journals spurred by the discovery of an unknown woman's forty years of garden notes in a small leather-bound book headed for a charity shop. It brings together all of Elliott's interests--plants, gardens, and garden history--and leaves the gardening reader feeling part of an unbroken continuum of gardeners always awaiting the next best bloom. Recommended for anyone with more than a passing interest in historical aspects of gardening. ( )
