Ten Poems about Gardens

"This is how he gardens: fifteen minutes of intense effort,
fifteen minutes of ecstatic contemplation..."
--- Louise Glück, Vespers

Description: instead of a card, why not send words! For gardeners and visitors to gardens, the green-fingered and the willing admirer who nonetheless doesn’t know their trowel from their hoe; the allotment-holder and the flower-grower. Like the gardens they describe, the poems range between formality and informality, elegance and sweet-scented shades of mystery.

With an introduction by Monty Don the pamphlet contains poems by Vikram Seth, Ann Drysdale, Henry Constable, Richard Church, Robert Louis Stevenson, Maura Dooley, Louise Glück, Robin Robertson, Barbara Daniels and Katherine Mansfield. Illustrated by Rosalind Bliss.

Details: includes poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message. 10 pages.
