Susannah Seton reminds us in "Every Garden Is a Story" that reader and gardener alike have much to learn from their gardens. The poignant and touching stories - from her father's quest for a seven-headed sweet pea to cancer survival and magical portraits of moon gardens - take readers on a journey through garden beds, along the way reinforcing how to care for themselves and their loved ones by caring for the Earth. "Some of the most touching stories remind us that we don't have to have a big yard or a lot of money to have a garden." - from the foreword by Carolyn Rapp. "Every Garden Is a Story" is a thoughtful and inspiring gift for any gardener.
