Old houses may not be haunted, but they retain many palpable
vestiges of their pasts. And when Margot Anne Kelley and her
husband, Rob, moved into an old farmhouse, they inherited that past
as well as the property. On their one acre on Maine's mid-coast,
they learned much about the history of their home not by visiting
the local historical society but by spending time observing the
trees, plants, and grasses that had been planted by those who once
owned their land. What they discovered is a landscape history that
harkens deep into New England's past. In this field guide to other
people's trees, we learn about some of those past owners and their
trees. Guided by Kelley's evocative text and gorgeous photographs,
we come to appreciate the same lessons that she did-that plants
carry the past into the present, that we are part of a rich and
interconnected world. In sharing her property with us, Kelley gives
us a glimpse of her unique part of New England, encouraging us by
her own example to imagine the many gifts we, too, inherit with a
house and plot of land. Intimate and informative, Kelley's field
guide is a joy to read and a gift to all who share her love of
nature and of place. Like the plants that define her land in Maine,
this book invites readers to recognize that we can be fully
grounded in our home place.
