1.Second Nature: A Gardener s EducationSecond Nature: A Gardener's Education
from Grove Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
That's not entirely fair, but...this is a book of essays, not a natural history or gardening book. It is about Pollan's perceptions of nature and landscape, through the gateway of his garden. He does only enough research to flesh out his musings with historical fact and literary reference - and he... more info

Customer Review:
The beginning of the book is absolutely lovely sharing the history of the areas and the author's beginnings as a gardener, including her move from the the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in the Ventana Wilderness, east of Big Sur, where she started, to Marin County at the Green Gulch Farm and Zen... more info

4.In the Garden with Jane AustenIn the Garden with Jane Austen
from Jones Books
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
"To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment." Fanny Price, Mansfield Park, Chapter 9
It seems quite fitting that a quote from Jane Austen's character Fanny Price, who is an astute observer of natural beauty, should open this book with such a... more info

5.Down the Garden PathDown the Garden Path
from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
The author states that this work is a floral autobiography in which nothing very much happens and from which reading of its 28 chapters the reader will gain practically nothing towards a knowledge of gardening.
To have such a book exist without the helpful standard qualities of plot or... more info

6.Gardens: An Essay on the Human ConditionGardens: An Essay on the Human Condition
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
Brilliant and revealing. BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS
ABOVE ALL, A SCHOLARLY, IN-DEPTH WORK.
I'll need to read it again to let the major points sink in
(I'm no scholar).
The treatment of the Eden myth is remarkably thoughtful.

7.All Flesh Is Grass: Pleasures and Promises Of Pasture FarmingAll Flesh Is Grass: Pleasures & Promises Of Pasture Farming
from Swallow Press
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
I found this as one of the best books on this subject (grazing, non-conventional agriculture, small scale farming), that melded practical information with well-founded global concerns. Really made one take a hard look at 'conventional agriculture' - which by definition is not sustainable. There... more info

Customer Review:
Geri Larkin's life has taken her from the heights of American business to the simplicity of Buddhist practice.

from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
One of the book catalogs that I occasionally get in the mail has been singing the praises of the late Beverley Nichols. Besides writing mystery novels, he also wrote about his adventures in renovating and resurrecting a home in the suburbs of London just after WWII. First published as a collection... more info

from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
I love this series of books by Beverley Nichols...I enjoy so much his writing style and the fact that he's just a "little" irreverent...I love his enthusiasm for his garden...He seems to have lived in a wonderful world of his own...Reading about it 70 years later is such a gift...Kelly Burgess.
