This illustrated book celebrates one of humankind’s oldest pleasures. Month by month, we are taken through a year in the life of Katharine Stewart’s garden outside the old schoolhouse in Abriachan, Scotland, where she lives with her husband and daughter. The circle of the seasons is luminously evoked as we are told of the practicalities of gardening, cooking, beekeeping, and winemaking. From a winner of a Saltire Society Award for her contribution to the understanding of Scottish Highland culture, and peppered with warm personal insights, good humor, and a love of living things, this account of the joy of nature reminds us how rewarding it is to be outdoors. “Evocative and charming.” —Scottish Book Collector
