A strong choice

Gardening is more than a hobby for some.

With moving anecdotes, and full color gardening photos, Sara may inspire others to create their own garden and embrace it, making "The Imperfect Garden" a strong choice.

A Celebration of Imperfection

As much as this book is about gardening, it is a book that reflects a philosphy of life, celebrating creativity, spontaneity, and serendipity. Gardeners and non-gardeners will love this book. It is at once funny, heartwarming, and wise. - Joan Alexander

I'm not a gardener

I haven't read this book and I'm not a gardener... yet. But I have been reading Sara's gardening columns in the Metro and her writing is like a garden itself: working at many levels at once. Frankly I read her column for its philosophy more than anything. She lives among nature as a participant. I recommend her writing to everyone, it's startlingly different, you will see your garden and all of nature with a different perspective.
