Synopsis
The next best thing to working in your garden is reading about working in a garden. Sweet Days and Roses is an inspiring celebration of those days spent between the heat of the sun and the moist humus. Brilliantly edited by author Leslie Geddes-Brown, it brings together some of the best garden writing of the past five centuries. The anthology includes insights from gardening luminaries such as Vita Sackville-West, Gertrude Jekyll, Rosemary Verey, and Mirabel Osler, interspersed with reflections from a wide variety of literary greats, from Shakespeare to A.A. Milne, from Edith Wharton to Frances Hodgson Burnett-as well as poems by, among others, Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost.
