Gardening on the Edge: An Illustrated Tour with Michael Riordon
Gardening is a joy, a dialogue, an act of will, a battle and a balancing act.
Where I live, we garden on the edge of wild meadow and forest. The border shifts constantly, as nature moves to restore itself. By human habit I hold my ground, get dirt on my hands, sometimes even blood. But whose ground is it, really?
A simple enough question in my small garden, but in the wider world, our one and only earth where we become more and more a pest, the stakes get higher by the minute. Join Michael Riordon for an illustrated tour through the tangled realms of garden, nature, science and power.
Michael Riordon is the author of Bold Scientists: Dispatches from the Battle for Honest Science, and other books, films, videos, and plays.
