Overview

Embark on a writer's personal garden journey! Liza Ketchum's story begins and ends in Vermont, with settings as varied as the Adirondacks, a New York suburb, an urban yard, coastal Florida, and Oxfordshire, England. With detailed, monochrome drawings by botanical illustrator Bobbi Angell, The Last Garden describes the practical aspects of gardening as we face the perils of climate change, food scarcity, and pollinator decline. This memoir also profiles the gardeners whose techniques and wisdom influenced and helped shape the gardens Ketchum created. She shares the myriad ways that gardens have provided beauty, comfort, healing, and inspiration during periods of change, loss, and renewal. She also offers inspiration for readers to create their own gardens, whether on a city balcony, a suburban yard, or a larger country plot.

"""Wonderful reading, bringing memories, gardening lore, and scientific understanding to all who admiringly turn their pages."" -Laura C. Stevenson, author of All Men Glad and Wise ""Whether you are an expert in the garden or someone who doesn't know their viburnum from their viola, you will find this book informative and interesting. I was continually amazed by the author's ability to remember individuals from her past and their contributions to her gardening nature. This is more a book about family than a 'how to garden' book, but I think you'll enjoy it and find yourself reading with a notepad handy to jot down ideas for your next garden project."" -Michael Epstein, EpsteinReads.com"
