Hardcover. Condition: Used; Good. This lovely edition of Green Fingers is a collection of garden related poems by Reginal Arke. ?Rock Gardens are really ridiculous things, Like peaches with peppers and donkey?s wings. You make out a list of the plants you must buy, You stick them in pockets, and most of them die. And if you are foolish enough to suppose, You can keep them alive with the aid of a hose- What dire delusions awaits you next day: The water is certain to wash them away.? As the cover states, this is a present for a good gardener.
