A delightful little book about gardens and human beings, and how much one does for the other. A line in the preface describes the relationship: "But this is what I have and where I garden, and now not a day goes by, early morning, that I don't wander around to see what's happening . . . not an evening, if there's still light, when I don't check to see what I've missed . . . Maybe next year I'll get it just the way I want it. Or the year after that." The black and white sketches are wonderful. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Though an old man," Thomas Jefferson wrote at Monticello, "I am but a young gardener." Every gardener is. In Gardening in Eden, we enter Arthur Vanderbilt's small enchanted world of the garden, where the old wooden trestle tables of a roadside nursery are covered in crazy quilts of spring color, where a catbird comes to eat raisins from one's hand, and a chipmunk demands a daily ration of salted cocktail nuts. We feel the oppressiveness of endless winter days, the magic of an old-fashioned snow day, the heady, healing qualities of wandering through a greenhouse on a frozen February afternoon, the restlessness of a gardener waiting for spring. With a sense of wonder and humor on each page, Arthur Vanderbilt takes us along with him to discover that for those who wait, watch, and labor in the garden, it's all happening right outside our windows.
