Page Dickey's quiet and contemplative journey from her iconic first garden, Duck Hill, to create something entirely new at Church House should be required reading for anyone seeking the courage to begin again or the inspiration to live within the spirit possessed by the land where one lives. --Daniel J. Hinkley, gardener, plant explorer, and author of Windcliff An unfeigned account of a gardener's transition in life and place. Wonderfully written, richly illustrated, grounded in personal, horticultural and cultural history. If you are wondering if classical horticulture and native plant functionality can coexist, this book is for you. --Douglas W. Tallamy, author of Nature's Best Hope and Bringing Nature Home In Uprooted, one of America's most engaging garden writers discovers the role of the natural world--the soils, the plants, and the critters with which she shares her piece of New England paradise--in creating a garden that suits its place--and befits our time. --Richard G. Turner, Jr., editor emeritus, Pacific Horticulture Practical and poetic, this paean to nature is an epicurean adventure of a horticultural life well-lived. --Tania Compton, garden designer and author of The Private Gardens of England Part memoir, part garden design, part future plans for a life continuing on in a new home, this is more than a book on planting or revamping a garden... Even nonhorticultural patrons will find this a gently enthralling read, and will finish with a renewed sense of wonder at the natural world and gratitude to Dickey for having written about it once more. --Library Journal
