Simple Pleasures of the Garden

A short excerpt, What I Get from a Garden, lists several of its gifts: antidotes for too much thought, solvable problems, permission to be muddy, and a chance to start over. This treasure of a book, now in paperback, offers other little gifts as well: recipes prepared with fresh herbs, aromatherapy, crafts, and food for thought.

Simple Pleasures of the Garden offers more than 60 stories on the rewards of gardening: the joy of planning and maintaining one, the beauty of nature, the satisfaction of physical work, and reaping what you sow. Seton’s formulas for handcrafted lotions, wreaths, potpourris and floral waters are accompanied by more than 150 inspirational garden quotes, cultivating tips, and suggestions on how to share the joys of the garden with loved ones.

This collection offers the joy of gardening to anyone — from seasoned cultivators to those who rarely pick up a spade.
