Thank  you,  Cheryl! And is Richardson Wright the pen name of E.B. White's wife? Am having trouble tracking info down except that R.W. was possibly an editor of Home and Garden Magazine. Happy reading, Joanie

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,
