In the Eye of the Garden brings the author's lyric gift to the topic of gardening. Osler looks at her own horticultural stirrings and shares her musings about human life in the garden, touching on a diverse but seductive selection of subjects. 85 woodcuts.
She warns the reader that "digressions abound," and they do. Entertaining enough that I want to seek out her other books, some on gardening, some on food, some on travel, most of which appear to be out of print.
