Gardening seems a solitary endeavor, perfect for those who like to be alone with nature without leaving their own yard. But this biography of renowned Southern gardening expert Lawrence tells of a time when getting your hands on an Algerian iris was not as easy as opening a nursery catalogue. Lawrence (1904—1985), author of A Southern Garden, Two Gardeners and numerous articles in House & Garden magazine and the Charlotte Observer, spent her life collecting different bulbs and clippings from the "friendly society" of gardeners across the country. Her love for gardens stretched beyond her own, and she often incorporated tips and accomplishments from the giant, informal association of green thumbs in her columns. According to Lawrence, "Gardening, reading about gardening, and writing about gardening are all one. No one can garden alone." Admired by writers such as Joseph Mitchell and Eudora Welty, Lawrence's writing was often about people and philosophy as well as planting. North Carolina writer Wilson's account is clear and unembellished, and her work provides a complete portrait of an independent, private and multifaceted woman. Photos.

On the 100th anniversary of her birth, Lawrence's life is celebrated with joy, reverence, and clarity in this captivating biography of the quintessential horticulturist whose columns and books about her private Southern garden inspired gardeners throughout the country. Wilson, the editor of Two Gardeners: Katherine S. White and Elizabeth Lawrence, A Friendship in Letters (2002), vibrantly traces Lawrence's development from a shy, devoted daughter to a pioneering landscape architect and prolific garden writer, exploring in detail the paradoxes that were to define Lawrence's personal and professional lives. Raised in the genteel South, where devotion to family and community represented the highest ideals of young womanhood, Lawrence defied expectations by attending college in New York City. Although her exposure to urban sophistication profoundly affected her, it could not surpass the uncommon satisfaction she derived from working in her own backyard. Her writings about the practical and philosophical rewards of tending one's own garden won her legions of fans, from the notable to the ordinary. Carol Haggas
