The Gardener is the keeper of the earth. His task is to tame Mother Nature without destroying her spirit. The Gardener is the earth’s artist, creating living art with living seed. The Gardener is the architect of hope and purveyor of the future, for without him there would be no food or life or joy or tamed beauty. That great English poet John Keats, with his knack for embodying reflections of the world in so succinct and soothing a manner pointed out that, “The poetry of the earth is never dead.” This book is a tribute to the poets of the earth, the workers of the soil, the growers and guardians of living things.

Perfect after a day in the garden. There were a couple of blank ‘photo fails’ but it was so nice to sit and read this after I had spent the entire day in the garden and sat licking my wounds from overdoing it. Beautiful pictures and old and modern quotes put things in perspective.
