The Unsung Season: Gardens and Gardeners in Winter
A familiar figure to dedicated gardeners, Eddison is recognized as both a writer and the creative force responsible for a noteworthy Connecticut garden. As informative as it is entertaining, her latest book expands upon the currently popular topic of winter gardens by focusing upon personalities along with plants. While other books suggest specific trees, shrubs, perennials, or grasses to plant for interesting effects, Eddison's presentation includes captivating interviews with horticultural enthusiasts who employ their own uniquely personal gardening activities to while away the long months before spring returns. It's a delight to sit in on Eddison's inspirational chats with an extraordinary group of gardeners eager to share their knowledge. This infectious exploration of more temperate climes (i.e., greenhouses and indoor windowsills) is recommended reading for cold, dreary evenings.Alice Joyce
