This review is from: The Opinionated Gardener: Random Offshoots from an Alpine Garden (Hardcover)

From The Semper Vivum, the Genesee Valley Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society (NARGS) newsletter: We are saddened to learn that Geoffrey Charlesworth has died. If you don't know of Geoffrey Charlesworth, he was one of the stalwarts of NARGS and with his partner, Norman Singer, produced beautiful gardens in Sandisfield, MA. His book, "The Opinionated Gardener," is a wonderful read, full of information and humor. You may remember his whimsical poem, "Why Did My Plant Die?" which was featured in our April 2007 newsletter. This exceptional man, generous with his time, talents and garden, will be greatly missed by everyone in NARGS.
