A wonderful, relaxing, feel-good book. Each new page brings a new lesson or surpirse. A must for a gardner!

This is a lovely, gentle book made up of tips, recollections, reflections, and (as the subtitle says) simple lessons about keeping a garden.

The writing sytle is clean and simple; by which I mean the "traditional" interpretation of Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter, since the author lives in the Hudson Valley in New York State. Be aware that if you don't live in an area where these "traditional" seasons hold true (for example, where it doesn't snow), some of the advice here may not be for you. Even so, the book is as much about celebrating these seasons as it is about gardening (if the two can truly be separated), so it's a worthwhile read no matter where you live.
