and splendidly bossy—prods us toward that ineffable place where
we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the
garden.” —The New York Times Book Review
"A gorgeous, helpful, and tenderly funny book for anyone who
likes putting s in the ground. I love the fact that it's 'A
Way to Garden' not 'THE way to Garden.' Less Hubris, more
mulch." —Ann Patchett, author of Commonwealth and State of Wonder
“Roach’s conversational tone showcases her personal experiences
while highlighting important horticultural information, making it
a compelling book to read straight through that is also useful as
a reference for particular details. Readers will appreciate
Roach's focus on gardening as a way anyone can help make the
world a better place.”—Booklist

This updated classic distills decades of learning from one of

superhero!” —Joe Lamp’l, Emmy Award–winning creator and host,
