Book Description: Indiana University Press, United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 240 x 165 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Henry Mitchell was to gardening what Izaak Walton was to fishing. "The Essential Earthman" is a collection of the best of his long-running column for the "Washington Post". Although he offered invaluable tips for novice as well as seasoned gardeners, at the heart of his essays were piquant observations: on keeping records; the role of trees in gardens (they don't belong there); how a gardener should weather the winter; on shrubs, bulbs, and fragrant flowers and about observation itself. Here's one example: Marigolds gain enormously in impact when used as sparingly as ultimatums. Henry Mitchell came to his subject with reverence, passion, humor, and a contagious enthusiasm tempered only by his sober knowledge of human frailty. "The Essential Earthman" is for all who love gardening even those who only dream of doing it. Bookseller Inventory # AAJ9780253215857
