Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid
gardener walking the Camino de Santiago. The Camino de Santiago has
been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing-to
varying degrees-their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon
Penner's attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of
literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell
the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain. Brimming
with wry observations-of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the
road- The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness
of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating
nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect
armchair-or garden-reading.
Gardening with the expert: helpful solutions to 1001 of the most
frequently asked questions in one accessible at-a-glance guide.
This title includes advice on everyday gardening dilemmas, with an
easy-to-follow directory covering both wide-ranging questions about
larger aspects of gardening as well as specific issues on problem
plants. It includes succinct queries on garden site, aspect, soil,
walls, floors, lawns, trees, conifers, shrubs, annuals, perennials,
herbs, houseplants, vegetables, containers, the water garden,
compost, pruning, training, propagation, weeds, tools, and
greenhouses. With more than 700 informative and attractive colour
photographs to accompany the clear text, this question-and-answer
encyclopedia will help you find a solution to every common garden
problem. This easy-to-read gardening companion will help to
demystify some of the common problems gardeners face, offering
explanations and solutions that are easy to put into practice. From
general queries that require large-scale planning, such as how to
decide where to site a patio, to specific queries, for example,
about how to prune a clematis, this handy volume offers invaluable
guidance and suggestions for successful gardening. Each chapter
looks at a different aspect of gardening, so finding solutions to
particular problems will be straightforward. All terminology is
clearly explained, so whether your question is general or specific,
this comprehensive volume will help you to find a solution.
