About this listen
One of America's most well-known and bestselling gardening writers shares her reflections and advice on finding joy in the garden
In A Life in the Garden, horticultural icon Barbara Damrosch imparts a lifetime of wisdom on growing food for herself and her family. In writing that's accessible, engaging, and elegant, she welcomes us to garden alongside her. Personal, thoughtful, and often humorous, this book offers practical DIY insights that will delight gardeners, cooks, and small-scale farmers. With a personal and sometimes irreverent tone, Barbara expresses the pleasure she takes in gardening, the sense of empowerment she finds in it, and the importance of a partnership with the real expert: nature.
Critic Reviews
To me, Barbara Damrosch is the Julia Child of gardening. ...Barbara was one of the people who made “sustainable” “small-scale,” and “compost” household words. …She practically invented the edible gardening movement.

Barbara Damrosch has saved from extinction the art of the personal essay. Not since Charles Lamb have we had such enjoyable reading. She makes kitchen gardening an imaginative experience.

The Queen of organic growing…a human search engine when it comes to questions about gardening and cooking.
