| Description: | Select Guide Rating The Gardener Says invites readers to a festive garden party where guests ranging from Gertrude Jekyll and Henry David Thoreau, to Michelle Obama and Michael Pollan share their insights and words of inspiration. Ranging from the humorous to the poignant, these quotes from gardeners, poets, philosophers, and landscape designers highlight both the joys and challenges of gardening—the exhaustion at the end of a long day's work, the satisfaction of seeing a flower blossom, the peace and happiness of time spent in quiet contemplation. A delightful hobby, a potent tool for ecological and social transformation, and a crucial reminder of our place in nature, gardening is, in the words of Mirabel Osler, the one occupation where "if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling." Searching for the perfect gift for a gardener? The Gardener Says captures both the joys and challenges of gardening with poignant, meditative, and whimsical quotes from writers, artists, philosophers, and gardeners. Readers will unearth insight and encouragement on every page, from the exhaustion of a long day of weeding, to the pure, simple joy of watching a seedling sprout. Avid gardeners will delight in classic quotes and new discoveries. See gardening through the eyes of Michael Pollan, Margaret Atwood, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Mahatma Ghandi, Michelle Obama, Monet, Bette Midler, and many more. A wonderful gift for birthdays, housewarming and garden parties, anniversaries, and Mother''s and Father''s Day. The beautiful, textured hardcover binding and bright green ribbon marker make this a treasured gift for gardeners of all skill levels. "Looking for the perfect gift for the avid gardener who already has enough gloves and tools? This beautiful book is full of quotes on gardening. Nina Pick did a wonderful job compiling them all."—Farm to Table Collect the complete Words of Wisdom series:
