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.
