What is a nature lover living in an urban neighborhood to do? Become a gardener, of course. First-time homeowner Hadden realizes too late that she has moved into "a vast, barren public park." To gain quick privacy on a limited budget, she goes tree-shopping, and this foray into gardening ignites an obsession. Over the next few years, she cajoles friends into moving tabletop-sized rocks, drafts multi-page To Do lists, struggles with wary neighbors, and installs a vast array of plants, transforming her urban lawn into a private, all-season garden. Hadden's emphasis on wildlife-friendly, do-it-yourself, low-maintenance gardening bridges the rift between horticulture and ecology. New gardeners will commiserate as she battles perennial thugs and moves mountains by the wheelbarrow. Lovers of wild nature will share her despair at the orderliness of urban neighborhoods and her joy as woody borders grow and bird and butterfly species multiply. Earnest and comic, Hadden's stories evoke the wonder, the drama, and the compelling nature of gardening. - Back cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
