The Garden at the End of Time features Mitchell’s trademark blend of science, literature, and anecdote as he processes both the information he is reading from various sources and what it prompts him to do in his own small corner of the world. The story that unfolds is one of Mitchell diversifying his plantings; fighting what he sees as unnecessary local development; walking through and observing changes in the wild lands nearby; continuing to read the news from around the world; and meditating on other moments, real and imagined, when people sought refuge even as they did their part to improve a personally and collectively stressful situation.
Readers discover the impossibility of separating gardening from global warming, while also seeing the solace that exposure to plants can offer, in addition to their contribution to carbon consumption. With gravitas, kindness, and wit, Mitchell offers a model for maintaining a connection to nature even as it reels from manmade threats.

Store description
Blue Eye Books was established to sell primarily rare, unusual, underappreciated, and otherwise hard to find books, primarily related to herbs, their uses, gardening, cooking, and medical history. Good editions of classic literature, history, and culture are a secondary focus. Owners Jim Long and Josh Young are both authors themselves, and through their work at Long Creek Herbs, have built an enviable library, which they seek to now distribute to readers with similar interests and respect for the texts. In addition to the aforementioned categories, both men are avid readers, and cannot resist buying interesting books of all sorts when they find them, but the shelves are bulging and life is short. We have plenty of places to donate ordinary books of general interest. When you find a book which interests you from Blue Eye Books, know a reader or researcher has found it to have special merit, and wishes to pass it along to another who will find it so, and treat it accordingly.…
