Down a dirt road in a hidden corner of the South, Jenks Farmer invites you to his patch of soil, where pecan trees surround acres of lilies and the vision of a quaint American farm is a reality. Part poetic memoir and part garden guide, this month-by-month work stands out among plant books for its personal stories and fascinating central character--Jenks Farmer writes about life, death, and the power of plants to connect us all. Whether he's hosting women at a Mother's Day cocktail party (a local ode to the generations of gardening women around his small South Carolina town), blasting Rod Stewart while harvesting pecans, or at evening's fall, stepping among the lilies as they send out an intoxicating perfume, Jenks will be your guide, and a new friend made in the garden.CJ Lotz, Senior Editor, "Garden and Gun"
