A charming collection for the novice or expert, "Gardeners' Lore" offers solid gardening sense sprinkled with magical bits of whimsy. On a search for guidance on how to maintain their new country garden, the Boland sisters learned "a store of curious information" about gardens, plants, and herbs passed down from grandmothers, neighbors, and other experienced sowers.
