"Though an old man," Thomas Jefferson wrote at Monticello, "I am but a young gardener." Every gardener is. In Gardening in Eden, we enter Arthur Vanderbilt's small enchanted world of the garden, where the old wooden trestle tables of a roadside nursery are covered in crazy quilts of spring color, where a catbird comes to eat raisins from one's hand, and a chipmunk demands a daily ration of salted cocktail nuts. We feel the oppressiveness of endless winter days, the magic of an old-fashioned snow day, the heady, healing qualities of wandering through a greenhouse on a frozen February afternoon, the restlessness of a gardener waiting for spring. With a sense of wonder and humor on each page, Arthur Vanderbilt takes us along with him to discover that for those who wait, watch, and labor in the garden, it's all happening right outside our windows.
Bryant has been writing a column called "Outdoors" for the New York Times for over 20 years. Though he states in the introduction that he tackles current environmental issues, he's left them out of this anthology, choosing instead the more timeless and universal pieces. The topics, presented in an evocative style with subtle wit, are arranged seasonally. For example, spring concerns include trout fishing and an outdoorsman's spring cleaning. The pieces deal mostly with hunting and fishing, with an occasional foray into television reviewing and literary criticism. ISBN 0-671-69372-7 (pbk): $10.95.
