In a small village, walking with no purpose, suddenly a door, a smell, color can bring back memories of a childhood spent in a garden. A book that is a celebration of senses, taking care of a garden as a metaphor of spiritual growth, of reflection about beauty, about what is necessary and what is not, and the difference between mere usage and critic conscience.
A story for all ages, a book that is also a useful guide to recognize plants and their Latin or common names, beautifully illustrated by the colorful collages by Cristina Amodeo.
