Gardeners of all levels and varieties can appreciate Des Kennedy’s perspective as he shares his experiences tending his spectacular garden for over forty years. His latest collection of short essays, Heart & Soil: The Revolutionary Good of Gardens, is drawn from articles composed over the last decade and showcases both Kennedy’s wit and wisdom. His stories are heartwarming, inspiring and often comical as he reflects on topics from conquering clay to loving ladybugs to creating an asparagus bed for the ages.
