This engaging collection of letters follows the course of a year in
the gardens of two passionate gardeners, Nancy Goodwin and Allen
Lacy. They share a climate zone (7A), but their gardens differ
enormously. Lacy gardens on a 100-by-155-foot plot of former
farmland in southern New Jersey, on soil so sandy that he must
water frequently if he is to garden at all. Goodwin gardens on rich
clay loam at her historic piedmont North Carolina home--which
comprises more than sixty acres of woodland, meadow, and
established plantings--and she refuses to irrigate, because she
believes in growing only those plants that are naturally adapted to
the conditions of her land. Through their letters, Lacy and Goodwin
provide a charming and revealing chronicle of their lives and the
lives of their gardens. They exchange stories of their
horticultural successes and failures; trade information about a
great many plants; discuss their hopes, fears, and inspirations;
and muse on the connections between gardening and music, family,
and friendship.
