Elizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985) lived a singular, often contradictory life.
She was a traditional southerner; a successful, independent garden writer with her own newspaper column and numerous books to her credit; a dutiful daughter who cared for her elders and lived with her mother; a landscape architect; a passionate poet; a friend of literary figures like Eudora Welty and Joseph Mitchell; and a very private woman whose recently discovered letters illuminate aspects of her mystery.
Lawrence earned many fans during her lifetime and gained even more after her death with the reissue of many of her classic books.
When Emily Herring Wilson edited a collection of letters between Lawrence and famed New Yorker editor Katharine S. White in Two Gardeners, she found legions of readers who were eager to know more about the legendary Lawrence.
Now, one hundred years after her birth, “No One Gardens Alone” tells for the first time the story of this fascinating woman, reveals Lawrence in all her complexity and establishes her, at last, as one of the premier gardeners and garden writers of the twentieth century.
