Description:
Do men garden differently from women? As Warren Schultz says, "You bet your six-pack they do", and this book proves it. Men usually have a specific goal in mind -- which is why more men than women grow vegetables. (And how many women really like cutting the lawn?) Men are collectors -- specialists in dahlias or orchids or topiary animals. Men like to dig and move earth around, an activity that is basic to gardening. Whereas women garden to enhance their home ground, men want to grow the biggest tomatoes.
Expand description
A Man's Garden looks at more than a dozen gardeners to inspire male readers. They range from a factory worker to a retired professor of pathology, and a surprising number trace their interest in gardening to their fathers. They live in every part of the country, and their gardens range from small city plots to Dick Button's fifty-acre property, which of course has a skating pond, along with a wildflower walk and hundred-foot perennial borders.
