Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text

3 comments By Dave

jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A delightful anthology of curiosities that honors the gardening life.

Celebrating the garden in all its splendid diversity and rich history, this collection of facts, ancient wisdom and customs, tips, and recipes features more than 1,000 entries-remarkable information about flowers, vegetables, fruits, trees, herbs, insects, birds, water, soil, tools, composts, climate, gardens and gardeners, myths, superstitions, and biodynamics.

Woven into this wealth of knowledge are famous quotations, anecdotes, traditional sayings, lines of verse, and words of rural wisdom. It's a wonderful gift for any gardener, whether they're tending a window box or a full-fledged farm.

Catherine Cook, November 11, 2007 (view all comments by Catherine Cook)
This is such a fun book! Here, Mr. Edworthy, has compiled all sorts of gardening information from tidbits to lists to recipes to quotes...you name it! And, it's all delightfully arranged by season with even a ribbon to mark your place. I loved learning, for instance that "The City of Mount Vernon in Washington State grows more tulips a year than the entire Netherlands." (page 124) Who would have thought that! (Besides those Mount Vernon-ers, of course.) You'll love this book! I do!
