Man with a green thumb,
By Anna (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Seasons of Harold Hatcher (Paperback)
This book on one of the great gardeners of South Carolina is well researched and well written. The book brings a great deal of information to the forefront about Harold Hatcher, and expresses his story in a thought provoking and meaningful way. I have walked through his gardens on many ocassions, and find this book to bring back those wonderful memories in full force.
