Reviews of “Gardens”
 Gardens“All stories are eloquently written and insightful… Whether treating the garden as a long-time friend or as a nuisance thanks to weeds, Gardens is a philosophical overview of the garden and all the things it represents to people.” Shelf Life, Oct 14, 2008 Read more about Gardens >> |
Gardens“Sometimes it’s too hot, too dreamy, for that big, fat novel or even that mindless genre tale. Sometimes all we want is a few choice snippets, something we can pick up and put down at whim. The latest pair of titles in a short series of handsomely produced, wee literary anthologies from Greystone Books will do just nicely, particularly the one from novelist and non-fiction author Merliyn Simonds. Gardens: A Literary Companion is perfect for that short hammock break between weedings.” Toronto Star, Jul 6, 2008 Read more about Gardens >> |

Gardens“Gardens is a lovely bouquet of essays from 20 inveterate gardeners. Each is beautifully written and blessedly brief. Something to read over a cup of tea, between rooting out the goutweed and digging in the lilies.” More Magazine, May 13, 2008 Read more about Gardens >> |
