Gardening and Poetry?
My mother tried to get me to read Shakespeare as a young adult - she knew I needed all the guidance I could find! Had she only pointed out that Shakepeare had made many references to plants, I may have tried plowing through one or two! Luckily, Nancy Shumacker Pollan has done the work for us by publishing the beautifully illustrated book “Shakespeare’s Garden”. My favorite page - Pansy (Hamlet IV,5); in my opinion, nothing beats a pansy. Please visit Borders or Barnes and Nobles to pick up a copy of this lovely book.
