Gardening

In this memoir of a year in her garden Jenny Joseph leads us down her garden path by the âÂÂnow of the noseâÂÂ. We are taken month by month through the gardening year and the smells associated with each month are evoked, as well as an insight into the life of this most unconventional writer. There is the sharp observation, sensual awareness and descriptive energy of Jenny JosephâÂÂs poetry and with her uniquely sly sense of humour she sends up those who would have us live as the trend âÂÂsetters dictate. This is not an ordinary âÂÂhow to gardenâ book but a guide to gardening for smell, the least discussed but most powerful of our senses.
