Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A classic in the literature of the garden, Green Thoughts is a beautifully written and highly original collection of seventy-two essays, alphabetically arranged, on topics ranging from “Annuals” and “Artichokes” to “Weeds” and “Wildflowers.” An amateur gardener for over thirty years, Eleanor Perényi draws upon her wide-ranging knowledge of gardening lore to create a delightful, witty blend of how-to advice, informed opinion, historical insight, and philosophical musing. There are entries in praise of earthworms and in protest of rock gardens, a treatise on the sexual politics of tending plants, and a paean to the salubrious effect of gardening (see “Longevity”). Twenty years after its initial publication, Green Thoughts remains as much a joy to read as ever.
This Modern Library edition is published with a new Introduction by Allen Lacy, former gardening columnist for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and the author of numerous gardening books.
Review:
"Eleanor Perenyi is an excellent writer, an evidently accomplished gardener and a person with a lively and independent mind."
Patrick Taylor, Times Literary Supplement, 08/04/1995
Review:"Eleanor Perenyi was...ahead of her time: She talks about everything from sexual politics to the class struggle. She attacks Henry David Thoreau on the moral superiority of wild places--no one ever does that."
Michael Pollan, Time Out (New York), 03/14/2002
