Review: A Garden in All Senses: Finding Joy in Every Season

A Garden in All Senses: Finding Joy in Every Season by Tovah Martin
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

I Received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.



Please note that the review name of this book was The Garden in Every Sense and Season and that Finding Joy in Every Season is a more accurate way of conveying this lovely book's message.

If you are a person who plans everything and who makes lists of things to do, like I am, sometimes it's hard to remember to stop and smell the roses. Tovah Martin is talking to us here, about just that- about taking the time to really see, smell, revel in, the seasonal changes in our gardens. To enjoy those moments of stillness in winter (ever listened for the sound of cracking when it's super cold? The slow drip of ice off branches?), the first pale yellow tinged green of spring shoots emerging from branches, crocuses and snowdrops peeping above the melting snow on the ground, and so on, throughout the seasons until the very last leaf drops from a tree, signaling the start of winter.

This is a beautiful book that you can enjoy whether you are a lifelong gardener or a beginning one.
