The Gardener's Year

The Gardener's Year is an engaging look at the life of an amateur gardener. Author Karel Capek takes us through a year in his own small garden, sharing his experiences and insights as the seasons change and the plants grow and die. He tells us about the time his hose created a small lake, and the time he carefully planted weeds instead of grass by mistake But most of all, he shares his love of gardening, his appreciation of the magic of seeds, the potential pitfalls of planting veggies, and the surprises a rock garden can bring.
