Front Yard Gardens: Growing More Than Grass di Liz Primeau

I need to remember to come back to this one closer to spring. I love the idea of turning my yard into a garden oasis. Also, I hate cutting grass. Double win.

My natural history di Liz Primeau

This is a memoir, the life story of a gardener. Liz Primeau is something of a "name" in Canadian gardening, not least as the founding editor of Canadian Gardening magazine, not to mention hosting a tv show and writing several gardening books.

The book is a collection of thoughts on gardening, many intensely personal, and an examination of the role gardening and her own gardens have played in her life, from her father's vegetable garden in Winnipeg to her own mature garden in Mississauga. She also explores garden lore and is particularly interested in garden history, although to be honest I don't think she's at her strongest when discussing these. She's at her best when discussing her own gardens, her gardening philosophy, the people around her, and her gardening influences.

Overall I really enjoyed the book. I don't think the prose is spectacular; it's very chatty, but that makes it very engaging. It's a pleasant read and a balm for someone like me, stuck in the early March sunshine and desperate to get out the trowel and the seeds.… (altro)

Front yard gardens : growing more than grass di Liz Primeau

Inspiring and practical. Primeau includes gardens from various zones, including mine (a nice change - they don't usually come this far north). On the other hand, at least some of the articles on specific gardens were previously published in Canadian Gardening magazine.
