After a long day spent digging in the dirt, I like to treat myself by going to bed early to read Diane Ackerman’s Cultivating Delight.
Ackerman is known for going deep on the topics of the five senses, love, and, in this case, her garden, through the seasons.
With meandering musings about what’s growing in her backyard and meditations on the everyday tasks involved in maintaining her plot, Ackerman transports me to a lush, verdant place, providing just the rejuvenation I need to return to my garden the next day.
