Description
|
|
In the mode of her bestseller "A Natural History of the Senses, " Diane Ackerman celebrates the sensory pleasures of her garden through the seasons. Whether she is deadheading flowers or glorying in the profusion of roses, offering sugar water to a hummingbird or studying the slug, she welcomes the unexpected drama and extravagance as well as the sanctuary her garden offers. Written in sensuous, lyrical prose, "Cultivating Delight" is a hymn to nature and to the pleasure we take in it.

In all my years of bookselling, I've never read a book whose title so accurately described its contents. Ackerman is a wonderful combination of naturalist and gardener. A delight indeed.
