This exchange of letters between [the authors] is the story of their passionate dedication to gardening and to life. (Fine Gardening)|An excellent gift book. It's entertainingly distracting, and can be read in bits and pieces or in one go and Martha Blake-Adams's charming line drawings of scenes from both authors' gardens are additional delights. (American Gardener)|This book is one of the riches in an unusually rich season for literary gardening. (New York Times Book Review)|There is no limit to what thoughtful writers find revealed in minute events in even the smallest of places. ()Brooklyn Botanic Garden)|A delightful little book. . . . So real are the voices as the two friends discuss their gardens--and life and living--that you'll struggle mightily to keep from joining in and talking about your garden and life, too. (Our State)
