As I listened to Sidney Eddison respond to questions posed by Faith Middleton during her NPR interview, Mrs. Eddison’s enthusiasm and insights became an enticing and encouraging introduction to her book. It sounded just like something my wife, Natalie Melbardis Ronai—a spectacular gardener and a recognized artist—, could or should have written, so I am ordering it and looking forward to bringing the book home for my wife’s gardening library.

I’m so thrilled to have read Sydney Eddison’s
Latest book. It took me back to the writings of
Mae Sarton, that I read years ago. There is such peace in gardening.
