1. Gardening For Love
"Gardening for Love" explores the unique tradition of "market bulletins," where gardeners and farmers advertise plants for sale, often driven by personal passion rather than commercial gain. The book delves into the rich cultural tapestry of gardening in the American South, highlighting how these bulletins foster a sense of community among enthusiasts. Through personal anecdotes and correspondence, the narrative reveals how gardening transcends mere horticultural activity to become a labor of love, connecting people across diverse backgrounds through their shared devotion to the soil.
