Using her own upsate New York property as her model and laboratory, she leads us through the garden's seasons as they parallel the stages of our own lives. First is conception (the idea of the garden as it takes shape in January and February), followed by birth (the planting time of March and April), youth (an explosion of flowers in May and June), adulthood (harvesting and dividing in July and August), senescence (taking inventory in September and October), and death and afterlife (the winter garden of November and December).\u003cp\u003eFor every month she makes note of the activities of the moment -- how to plan a garden before the snow melts, select hardy and forgiving plants that build the gardener's confidence, plant a 'late-start' vegetable garden, create a crevice garden in the cracks of the patio, and force bulbs indoors to stave off the winter blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Roach's friendly, conversational writing not only explains exactly what needs to be done and how to do itt, but also inspires us with a love of gardening itself -- the closest many of us come to nature in our everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Clarkson Potter","offers":[{"title":"Way to Garden: A Hands-On Primer for Every Season | Margaret Roach | Hardcover | 9780517707333 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1749966","offer_id":48882476089496,"sku":"1749966","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51xNtLtRbML.jpg?v=1776445512","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/way-to-garden-a-hands-on-primer-for-every-season-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
