| I need to pick literary brains. A friend who's sitting with a friend of hers in the final stages of cancer is seeking good reading about gardening. My friend isn't a gardener, but her friend is. Can you please post your faves? |

| These are books that are engaging and good reads: Amy Stewart's "Flower Confidential"
Michael Pollan's "The Botony of Desire"
Cassandra Danz "Mrs. Greenthumbs: How I Turned a Boring Yard into a Glorious Garden and How You Can, Too" |

| My favorite book is "People with Dirty Hands", but I forget the author. |

| I don't think I'd want to hear any of those if I were dying. I'd want to hear something descriptive of the beauty of gardens and gardening, written by real gardeners. Perhaps selections from Eleanor Perenyi's "Green Thoughts". Or Thomas Jefferson's "Garden Book". Or any of the accounts of garden-making by Helen Van Pelt Wilson, Sydney Eddison, Elisabeth Sheldon. Such beautiful images, soothing but based on real garden experience. |
