In the Garden
Author(s): Miriel Lenore
In her new book, In the Garden, Adelaide poet Miriel Lenore draws on her skills as storyteller, and delves into myth, lore, science and history to evoke the life of a great garden, the Adelaide Botanic Garden. Here are sequoia, arbutus, lotus pond, Palm house and Greek statuary. Lenore brings both a light touch and a deep reflexiveness to each subject, continually opening out fresh prospects. This, the sixth of Lenore's adventurous and accomplished collections, will speak to all those who cherish gardens. 'The worst of gardening, said Mrs Miniver ...is that it's so full of metaphors one hardly knows where to begin.' - Jan Struther
