Hurrah - books

I tend to prefer “why I garden” to “how to garden” authors. So in no 
particular order

Roger Swain - he has several books, some more garden than others, but all are 
more in the form of long essays about
some particular focus.

Cassandra Danz - AKA Mrs Greenthumbs. Super funny and just plain fun

Beverly Nichols - an interesting and conflicted man. Not sure how often he 
got his hands dirty, but I enjoyed him and his descriptions of building his 
various gardens are wonderful. He can be a bit scathing of his fellow man

Katherine White - Onward and Upward in the Garden.   Wish she had written more
Richard Wright daybook and bed books 

I can recall parts of few other authors - Ann somebody who wrote beautifully 
but left me angry and depressed, a gossip maven from NYC that had a garden in 
Vermont,
