Gardens hold the key to our salvation. Garden growth and harvest were always intended to be our nourishment. These adages attest to the garden's perpetual and everlasting forgiveness. And to gardener's gift to participate and grow. Belle's Garden Adages appear in this illustrated book due to the author's everlasting kindness in attending to "green growing things." Forever enchanted by the woodland creatures, shy today, but always present in gardens. The painted illustrations capture days in the life of a city garden and yard, grown here and witnessed since the late '60s.
