The result is gardens which have the intimacy of a diary or memoir, indeed the accounts by the contributors often read like leaves torn from a jounral, full of passion and idiosyncrasy as their pride and prejudice are revealed. These are private arcadias into which we, the public, are now allowed to pry. How generous they are to unfold the pag es for our contemplation. How much one understands the contributor who unashamedly states that the essence of her garden is that it is a closed world." ; FINE/FINE. Book.
