Description
Jamaica Kincaid's first garden in Vermont was a square plot in the middle of her front lawn. She planted only seeds of flowers she liked best, much to the surprise of more experienced gardener friends.
In My Garden, Kincaid gathers all that she loves about gardening and plants, examining it with generosity, passion, and sharp discrimination. Her affections are matched in intensity by her dislikes, from the beauty of spring and summer to the coldness of winter.
This book is an intimate and playful exploration of gardens, the plants that fill them, and the people who tend them. Kincaid considers the idea of the garden on her native Antigua, as well as historic English gardens she visited on a trip to the Chelsea Flower Show.
