""As well as being an inspiring handbook, THE MORVILLE HOURS is that stream of consciousness which accompanies hard labour. Behind it lies a candid autobiography detailing Swift's footloose searchings for a faith." "This exceptional book is billed as garden writing, but it is garden writing only in the sense that MOBY-DICK is a treatise on whales." AnnotationThis book will likely be found in the gardening section of your local bookstore, but its range stretches far beyond the borders of your flower bed. Katherine Swift, a former gardening columnist with the London Times, started a garden at a famous estate in Morville, Shropshire, England. In her hours of seeding, planting, weeding, and pruning, her thoughts wandered across vast regions of history and philosophy, with the blossoming garden as the constant center. Using a medieval Book of Hours as a guide, her compelling book charts some of her fascinating mental journeys, as she reflects on the surprising historical impact of various plants, the possible wonders of garden design, and the contemplative process itself, as nurtured by time spent alone among the flourishing, flowering fruits of her labor.
