Reviews
An introspective, sometimes philosophical, sometimes ironic, often amusing look at plants and gardening., Jurgen Dahl's stories are wise and cheerful, and full of opinions and premonitions, all told with the insatiable curiosity of the true explorer., [This book] will bring you many hours of enjoyment, and at the same time, lead your thoughts along garden paths you never knew existed., The major joy of writing book reviews is that you read books that you would otherwise have passed up. Many of them turn out to be gems. ... I confess that I didn't finish reading the book before I wrote this review, not because I didn't have time, but because I wanted to slow down and savor the essays as I read them., Altogether it is a lovely curl-up-in-front-of-the fire type read, which may well make you think more deeply about how the garden enriches your life., Reading Dahl's book is the equivalent of having a silent conversation with a very quirky but interesting individual., One gets the idea Dahl looks under every stone and leaf to record and reveal the secrets of process rather than result. His practiced and patient observation brings us the everyday culture, history, folklore, and traditional plant usage., Dahl's piece on oaks is worth the price of the book, as Dahl pulls together oak physiology, whiskey barrels, symbolic images, famous oaks, Estonian pilgrims who nibbled off oak bark to cure their toothaches, tannic acid, fertility and oak galls., Dahl explores edible botany and has many acute observations. . . . Full of interesting facts about your garden, this is a good winter's night read., Reading his sometimes strange notes encourages us to take a second look at our own secret gardens and maybe even nibble at a thing or two., Embraces curiosity and patience as a gardener's most important qualities... Propels the reader to put the book down and take another look at the subject matter., His writing remains timely, detailed and practical, yet explores the meaning of plants and their place in our memories, hearts and history.

Synopsis
Now for the first time in English, one of the world's best-loved garden writers explores the connections between the life of the garden and the life of the mind. In this omnibus volume that ranges from discussing why gardeners should grow bad-smelling plants to how readers should eat their flowers, Jürgen Dahl identifies curiosity and patience as the gardener's chief virtues. What matters most to Jürgen Dahl is that a garden is not a sterile copy of a picture in a book, or a beautiful "triumph" that lacks all experimentation and wonder. In Jürgen Dahl's garden, things do not "work," but instead they happen --- or maybe they do not. Many things that please, surprise, or disappoint a gardener do so because the garden's living creatures can only rarely be tricked into obeying the gardener's will; in their own quiet but unyielding way, they follow their own laws. Jürgen Dahl's stories are wise and cheerful, and full of opinions and premonitions, all told with the insatiable curiosity of the true explorer., Jurgen Dahl explores the connections between the life of the garden and the life of the mind. He ranges from discussing why gardeners should grow bad-smelling plants to how readers should eat their flowers.
