Two books by writers a few decades apart; each musing on the ways in which our relationship with gardens, nature and gardening both arrests time and highlights it's passing. Both books explore how we benefit from this relationship and how it can shape us. Oh...and they both have gorgeous covers 🌱🌿🌸🌹

antiquarian book of the week!📚🍎
