Praise
“An extraordinary sensitivity to the experience of the garden–be it through vision, touch, or scent–lends unity to Garden Stories. This little hardback will suit anybody who likes to get their hands dirty, as well as those who prefer to admire the blooms from a distance.” –TImes Literary Supplement (London)
