Garden Voices captures the past and present of gardening with dated, daily musings organized around the calendar year, bringing gardening and gardeners to life like never before. In this engaging anthology, readers are transported back in time ... and often place ... to witness rare horticultural glimpses. We find George Orwell, half-naked, digging his newly acquired rock-filled, "dry as a bone" garden on the Isle of Jura on May 25, 1946. On September 25, 1845, Emily Dickinson picks the last flowers of summer before Jack Frost gets them. In New Mexico, Georgia O'Keeffe reveals to her New York-based lover Alfred Stieglitz that she has just discovered the joy of gardening.
