The Garden in Every Sense and Season Book

“Reminds us that the best way to get to know a garden is through

our senses. Don't expect to make it through many pages before you feel

an urge to run outdoors to reintroduce yourself to your own landscape.”

—Michelle Slatalla, Gardenista

So much of gardening is focused on seasonal to-do lists and daily upkeep. But what about taking time to just enjoy the garden? The Garden in Every Sense and Season

urges you to revel in what you’ve created. From the heady fragrance of

spring lilacs to the delicious silence of a winter snowfall, writer and

lifelong gardener Tovah Martin explores the glories of her garden using

the five senses. Her sage advice and gratifying reflections on the

rewards of a more mindful way of gardening will inspire you to look

closer, breathe deeper, listen harder, and truly savor the gifts of your

garden.

“The perfect spring read… This is a book to savor, underline, and

discuss with others as well as one you’ll want to reread each season.” —Book Musings

“Martin will make garden-lovers appreciate their own landscapes in new ways.” —Rose City Reader

“A joyful tour through a year in the garden, with brief essays

highlighting particular plants. Through the lens of the five senses,

Martin encourages readers to dig (literally) into the dirt and let the

plant kingdom restore their souls.” —Shelf Awareness

“This book has reminded me to slow down and really enjoy the riches

that a garden has to offer instead of focusing on the time it takes to

weed, water, and maintain.” —My Book Bath

“Like

any good garden or sonnet, Tovah Martin is striving to appeal to all of

your senses, as she puts down the chores and takes up appreciating all

that her garden has to offer.” —Literati Bookstore

“The

prose is gentle but thorough. This isn’t a book of lists; it’s a book of

close observations filled with surprising attention to the smallest

details that one would miss without being mindful.” —South Sound Magazine
