"I am fully and intensely aware that plants are conscious of love and respond to it as they do to nothing else.”—Celia Thaxter

Originally published in 1894, this classic gardening book is a collection of remembrances and advice from Celia Thaxter's summers gardening on Appledore Island. Celia's garden was admired by her friends and neighbors and she captures the stretching stems and blossoming flowers in vivid prose, ranging in mood from bitter defeat delivered by unrelenting slugs to the exultant triumph of birdsong and bursting blooms.
