Book Description:
|
Creativity thrives in the garden. Writers, from Plato to Jane Austen, from George Orwell to Colette, have turned to the outdoors for inspiration. Emily Dickinson saw her poems as 'nosegays' from her garden. Allergy-prone Proust kept bonsai trees in his sick-room. We dig and prune or just walk and savour, and it's all there. Ideas fall into our heads and hands, or we discover them in the grass when we 'stumble on melons.' Here are a few of mine, even if melons don't grow well where I live.
