The Garden in Every Sense and Season: Gardening to Awaken Your Five Senses | Tovah Martin
3 posts | 2 read
So much of gardening is focused on the monthly checklists, seasonal to-do lists, and daily upkeepweed this area, plant these seeds, prune this tree, rake these leaves, dig this holefrantically done all year long. But what about taking the time to truly enjoy the garden in every sense? In The Garden in Every Sense and Season, Tovah Martin mindfully explores her garden through sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste. She sees the bright yellow daffodils of spring, smells summers pungent roses, hears the crows in autumn, and tastes winters juicy citrus. In 100 evocative essays, Martin shares sage garden advice and intimate reflections on her own garden. The Garden in Every Sense and Season, from one of the greatest garden writers of our time, urges gardeners to inhale, savor, and become more attuned with their gardens.

"Spring is incredibly sexy...Confession: My Garden verges on too racy in spring. Some people might find it appalling. You should turn the page and move to another topic if (1) you have any tendencies toward being buttoned-down, (2) your garden style is limited to only shades of green, (3) you are prone to pooh-poohing gardens of color...Call me trashy, but I like my garden vibrant in the spring." ??‍?

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Cuilin Book is divided into seasons, something I adore in gardening books I'm putting on my Ongoing Shelf and marking my calendar to read each section at the turn of the Season. 4y

It is jam-packed full of gardening wisdom, so much I couldn't include all of my favourite lines, they are too numerous! I loved every minute of this book and spent time digesting each segment and going out and experiencing my own garden afresh.
