Overview: Show me a person without any prejudice of any kind on any subject and I’ll show you someone who may be admirably virtuous but is surely no gardener.–Allen Lacy.
Idiosyncratic, determined, and occasionally obsessed, gardeners have a lot to say about their outdoor passion. THE WRITER IN THE GARDEN brings together a host of writing gardeners and gardening writers reveling in their quirks, confessing their shortcomings, and sharing their experiences. Combing through a hundred years of garden writing, editor Jane Garmey has discovered some great contemporary works and rediscovered many classics: “I am strongly of the opinion,” declares Gertrude Jekyll, “that the possession of a quantity of plants, however good the plants may be themselves and however ample their number, does not make a garden.” “It isn’t that I don’t like sweet disorder, but it has to be judiciously arranged,” writes Vita Sackville-West. “Gardeners are–let’s face it–control freaks,” Abby Adams admits. “Who else would willingly spend his leisure hours wrestling weeds out of the ground, blithely making life or death decisions about living beings, moving earth from here to there, changing the course of waterways?”
