The Garden in Every Sense and Season

Hello -- Poppy here as I requested to read this book, via Janet as she once killed a silk plant. She lives on the 6th floor and I have 6+ acres of gardens. I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher -

So much of gardening is focused on the monthly checklists, seasonal to-do lists, and daily upkeep —weed this area, plant these seeds, prune this tree, rake these leaves, dig this hole—frantically done all year long. But what about taking the time to truly enjoy the garden in every sense and season? In The Garden in Every Sense and Season, Tovah Martin does just that. Beginning with the heady blooms of spring and closing with putting the garden to bed in winter, Martin mindfully explores her garden through sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste. She sees the bright yellow of forsythia of spring, smells summer’s pungent roses, hears the crows in autumn, and tastes winter’s juicy citrus. Throughout her lyrical essays, she shares sage garden advice and intimate reflections on her own garden. This compelling narrative is beautifully supported by photography by Kindra Clineff. The Garden in Every Sense and Season is a must-have book from one of the greatest garden writers of our time that urges gardeners to listen up, look over, inhale, savor, and become more attuned with their gardens.

I loved this fresh approach to gardening which was accompanied by amazing photographs. I am guilty of list-itis when it comes to my gardening but this book makes me see how to take it from a totally different approach. I learned so much!! If there is a gardener in your life. this is the book to give them!
