From Booklist , June 1, 1996
Handelsman writes about the deep levels of love and connection with plants--the healing power of "inner gardening." In her travels from Brazil to Scotland, Handelsman has explored this holistic approach to gardening, which stresses the role of the gardener as a nurturing figure. If you apply an inner perspective to gardening, she believes that you can add a new dimension to garden tasks, such as watering, pruning, transplanting, and feeding. She notes that plants as living beings need the same things we do: food, air, water, and love. Handelsman surely takes the concept of talking to your plants to the extreme and assures gardeners that the dividends are ample for both them and their flowers.
