-Describing the joy of gardens has been a pleasure for prose writers, poets and painters, since earliest times, as the selections in this book delightfully reveal "The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies" Gertrude Jekyll The first garden, we are told, was the Garden of Eden. Perhaps garden lovers have been trying to get back to paradise ever since. For beyond the hard work and disappointments, we have an ideal vision of that we would like our gardens to be: places of beauty and refreshment, which brings us close to nature and where the sheer joy of growing things gives a unique sense of fulfillment.
