Thoreau’s ‘Faith in a Seed’ and ‘Wild Fruits’ are wonderful. They are not so much advice (though Pollan isn’t either, he’s projection) as lyrical and thought provoking. The sort of books you hate to return to the library.

Michael Pollan is a fine writer who has taken up his pen to write about his garden from time to time. I especially like his “Botany of Desire” and “Second Nature”.

I particularly enjoy the writing of Scott Ogden. “Garden Bulbs for the South” and “The Moonlit Garden” are special favorites of mine. He gardens in Central Texas so I don’t know how much he would be appreciated by a gardener from a colder clime.
