More than a memoir. A lifetime of gardening inspiration.

In this deeply personal account, she reveals all that she has learned through a lifetime of growing, including:

  • The gardens she has loved and tended
  • The plants she loves to grow
  • The people who have inspired and influenced her
  • How she gardens through each season
  • What gardening means to her

Full of anecdotes, pearls of wisdom, and beautiful photos of Mary's own garden, My Gardening Life is a unique memoir told through the gardens Mary has loved. As she says, 'In another life, I may have been a gardener.'
